Selection note: Curated for RadLab, a database and toolkit intended to make space-radiation measurements discoverable and usable across instrument, environment, and mission analyses.
Evidence boundary: The NTRS record describes the platform, but this pass did not audit dataset completeness, calibration, software behavior, or continued availability. It is infrastructure context, not direct claim evidence.

Source-supplied abstract
RadLab, a new addition to the NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR), is a public platform for space radiation data relevant to human space exploration. RadLab consists of a database, a submission portal, and user-friendly visualization and data analysis tools, including a graphical user interface (GUI) and an application programming interface (API).
Investigators from ISS partners including Germany, Italy, Canada, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Russia, Japan have committed to providing data from their instruments. RadLab will also include data from other spacecraft in LEO: the Space Shuttle, the Mir space station, biosatellites; and beyond LEO: the lunar and the Martian surface, the heliocentric orbit at 1 AU, Mars orbit, and Earth-Mars space.
Once fully operational, RadLab will provide open, centralized access to space radiation physics data relevant to human space exploration; a platform for submission of data by agencies and research institutions responsible for radiation detectors deployed in space; analysis tools to facilitate detector and dataset intercomparison to better understand space habitat radiation environments; capabilities for space biology investigators to determine the radiation environment to which samples were exposed.
A RadLab Working Group (RLWG) has been formed, modeled on the GeneLab Analysis Working Groups and comprised of data contributors and users. RLWG tasks include identifying data sources, normalizing data from diverse detectors, expanding the analysis toolkit and, perhaps most importantly, sharing ideas for research exploiting capabilities of RadLab.
We will provide an overview of RadLab data and capabilities and discuss examples of its potential as a resource for open science.

What would change this record?
A newer or corrected version, a retraction, a verified duplicate, a material topic mismatch, a changed access state, or claim-level review would trigger a dated editorial update.
The NTRS record describes the platform, but this pass did not audit dataset completeness, calibration, software behavior, or continued availability. It is infrastructure context, not direct claim evidence.
Source-supplied titles, abstracts, authors, and dates may require correction against the canonical full text.
