From page 3...
... To allow for analysis of the results of their microgravity experiments, PIs have traditionally been given exclusive access to the post-flight data and samples for 1 val of microgravity experiment data from the spacecraft, intermediate processing, and final delivery to the PI. There are no uniform policies for distribution and retention of unaltered space-processed samples, nor are there uniform requirements to preserve key microgravity facility components, such as sample cartridges and flight furnacesÑeven though some of these might be needed for replication of experiments in terrestrial runs performed after the mission.
