Announcement of the Results of AO2025 for the Ryugu and Bennu Samples

In February 2025, the Astromaterials Science Research Group (ASRG) of ISAS/JAXA called for proposals for the Announcement of Opportunity (AO2025) for the Ryugu and Bennu samples.
We received 50 notices of intent and 36 research proposals from 11 countries. After careful deliberation, 24 proposals were selected, and a total of 55 samples were allocated as new distributions.
ASRG will now proceed with the preparation and distribution of the samples to the selected research teams.
