    Preparation is in the sunset phase of development and will be deprecated at a future date. Full support remains available. We recommend migrating your workflows to Pipeline Builder for cleaning and preparing data and to take advantage of Marketplace support.

    Preparation is an interactive tool for cleaning and preparing data. Cleaning refers to fixing data quality issues, and preparing refers to manipulating data to make it usable for a specific analytic task.

    The dataset shown below comes from The Meteoritical Society via the NASA Data Portal ↗.
