Our mission is to create and share knowledge in the field of meteoritics through:

  • Formal and informal education on meteorites and what these reveal about the origin and nature of asteroids, planets, and the Solar System
  • Curation and lending of our meteorites for students to study
  • Research about meteorites, planets, and the Solar System
