Hi @thehemen,

There are not currently any plans for a Mars Spectrometry 3 challenge. We are happy to hear about your interest and will pass that along to our partners at NASA.

In the mean time, our partners at NASA just recently got the data from the two previous Mars Spectrometry challenges published as open data. You can find them at the below two links. We’re still working on adding announcements to the challenge websites with this information.

- [Mars Spectrometry 2: Gas Chromatography for the Sample Analysis at Mars Data (SAM) Instrument - Registry of Open Data on AWS](https://registry.opendata.aws/nasa-gcms/)
