Where is TRS?

If you are wondering, what happened to the JPL Technical Reports Server (TRS)? No worries, it has been replaced by the JPL Open Repository (JOR).  All the content from TRS have been migrated to JOR, and there are more.  Here is a quick overview of what's in JOR:

Years covered: 1992 to the present.

• Publications: meeting papers, presentations (posters), JPL Publications, and other materials cleared via the Document Review's Unlimited Released System
  • 1992-2021 records were originally on the JPL Technical Report Server (TRS); those records were migrated to JOR in 2022.
  • Records with publication date 2022 or later are native to the JOR
  • New to JOR: Journal Articles (Authors' Final Accepted Copy) from 2016 to present
• Data sets: 2022 to present
• There are a few pre-1992 records. Those were added to the system on a case-by-case request basis.

What happens to the old TRS URLs?

Those should be auto-redirect to JOR. However, the transition has ran into glitches. The persistent IDs work, replace https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/ with https://hdl.handle.net/

So https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/21735 becomes https://hdl.handle.net/2014/21735
