NASA: The Planetary Data System

"The Planetary Data System is a NASA funded program to archive data from past and present planetary missions as well as astronomical observations and laboratory data," said Dr. John Keller, Deputy Project Scientist from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "The purpose of the Planetary Data System is to make available to the public the fruits of NASA funded research and to allow advanced research on solar system science."

As of March 15th the publicly accessible Planetary Data System has released data sets from the seven instruments on board NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
