No full textWe derive the antipodal matching relations used to demonstrate the
equivalence between soft graviton theorems and BMS charge conservation across
spatial infinity. To this end we provide a precise map between Bondi data at
null infinity and Beig-Schmidt data at spatial infinity in
a context appropriate to the gravitational scattering problem and celestial
holography. In addition, we explicitly match the various proposals of BMS
charges at found in the literature with the conserved charges at
