History
editThe journal was established in 1953 as the successor of the Notes and Contributions that were published on behalf of the Meteoritical Society in Popular Astronomy, from 1933 to 1951.[1] Initially titled Meteoritics, with the 1996 January issue the journal became Meteoritics and Planetary Science.[2]
