6. 17 July 2007IPDA Steering Committee UK Archiving Groups Several UK university groups are currently involved in planetary data archiving activities: Cassini-Huygens – Huygens Data delivered (OU) Cassini archiving ongoing (Imperial) Rosetta archiving (OU) – 2014/ 2015 (expect similar problems to Cassini in long life mission – i.e. does anyone still understand the instrument!) ExoMars (OU, Oxford, MSSL, Leicester Univ) – Instrument build 2007-2013. Design in Data Archiving in this phase. Bepi Colombo (Leicester) 2019/2020
