Three years ago (Sep 2016), we started our [first blog](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog) with the idea to generate and share content useful to the planetary science community: news, updates, articles and tips related to data, tools and workflows. Although quite successful, we decided a year later to move our blog to the Medium publishing platform in order to reach more readers: [https://medium.com/openplanetary](https://medium.com/openplanetary). Today, we are still using Medium for blogging. However, we intend to keep technical posts for this Forum. **Feel free to explore our former blog posts and, for authors, to migrate them to this forum when appropriate:** ### [We’re kicking off OpenPlanetaryMap!](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/opm-kickoff.html) A new collaborative project to build the first Open Planetary Mapping and Social platform _Posted by Nicolas Manaud on April 17, 2017_ ### [OpenPlanetary is back from the LPSC 2017 and we have some things to tell you](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/openplanetary-at-LPSC.html) _Posted by Ramiro Marco Figuera on March 29, 2017_ ### [New MATISSE tasks: PlanetServer queries and VIR-Vesta advanced data](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/tool/matisse2ps.html) _Posted by Angelo Zinzi on February 24, 2017_ ### [VESPA Tutorial session at EGU 2017](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/vespa-training-egu2017.html) Planetary sciences Virtual Observatory tutorial session _Posted by Michel Gangloff on February 18, 2017_ ### [AMA: New ESA’s PSA User Interface](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/ama-new-esa-psa.html) Join Sebastien Besse & Isa Barbarisi at 5pm CET, 2nd March 2017 _Posted by Nicolas Manaud on February 1, 2017_ ### [Next steps for OpenPlanetary in 2017?](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/op-2017-next-steps.html) Where we are heading to depends on you! _Posted by Nicolas Manaud on January 23, 2017_ ### [How To Access and Use ChemCam Data](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/tools/chemcam.html) Fantastic Data and where to Find Them _Posted by Ryan Anderson on December 18, 2016_ ### [MATISSE](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/tools/matisse.html) The ASDC web-tool to access, analyze and visualize planetary data _Posted by Angelo Zinzi on December 12, 2016_ ### [The Open Universe initiative](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/openuniverse.html) To stimulate a dramatic increase in the usability of space science data _Posted by Paolo Giommi on November 28, 2016_ ### [PlanetServer, a web GIS for hyperspectral data visualization and analysis](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/science/PS2-introduction.html) The first entry of a series of posts about PlanetServer-2 _Posted by Ramiro Marco Figuera on November 23, 2016_ ### [MarsSI: the e-Mars Team web application project](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/tools/MarsSI.html) a Martian surface data processing Information System _Posted by Loïc Lozac’h on November 21, 2016_ ### [EuroPlanet VESPA](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/tools/vespa.html) Discover new planetary resources _Posted by Baptiste Cecconi on November 16, 2016_ ### [Fun with a new image data set: Mars Orbiter Mission’s Mars Colour Camera](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/community/mom-mcc.html) _Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on November 9, 2016_ ### [First steps with Rosetta/MIDAS data](http://openplanetary.github.io/blog/science/first-steps-with-midas-data.html) The first part of a series of posts on how to access and use MIDAS data _Posted by Mark S.
