Announcement of the selected proposals for the 4th Ryugu Sample AO

In July 2023, ASRG called for proposals worldwide for the fourth Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for the Ryugu sample. We received 41 notices of intent, and 30 research proposals from 10 different countries. After careful deliberation, the Ryugu Sample AO Panel selected 22 proposals for adoption, and allocated 50 pristine samples for distribution. ASRG will now prepare the samples for distribution to the Principal Investigator of each of the successful proposals.
