Re: [meteorite-list] The Biggest Tektite Special Exhibit?
Hello Paul, I don't see any picture of your giant but according to your description, it indeed seems to be the indochinite N° 1 in size (weight) so far. Congratulations! Is it a Chinese Guang Dong type ? Or...? So far, I haven't found yet elsewhere a bigger vietnamite than my 705.4 g splash (Muong Nong excluded). I'll arrange to have its pic available soon on someone's site. It is nice we progress in compiling our hidden beauties and this is connected to what you are willing to set up (educative tektite exhibit at a future big show). I'll perhaps discuss with Anne Black soon in Ensisheim about the idea. Incidentally, I was planning to propose, as the Ensisheim-2009 (our tenth anniversary) theme: Tektites Impactites. (the 2008 edition has another specific theme already scheduled) Thanks again and I believe everybody will be pleased with a pic of your record indochinite. Best wishes, Zelimir A 07:40 26/05/2007 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Thanks to all on this talks. I enjoy all the info. Let me introduce an Indochinite in my collection: 1,042 gram, ~ 6x4x3, flow lines on all surface, damage-free, boat-shape, one end heavier. I put my tektite collection in a Special Exhibit case during the Denver Gem Mineral Show in 1999(?). Museums, such as the Smithsonian and American Natural History, and famous collectors put up those exhibits for education purpose. Would everybody be interested in bringing his/her largest/best tektites for a collective tektite exhibit during the Denver and Tucson gem show (main show)? Maybe Anne Black and I can coordinate it for Sept's Denver show. It will be more fun to look at these big tektites. They are extremely difficult to find. I went through perhaps 10 tons to find a piece over 1,00 gram! Paul Liu *** Greatwall Consulting Trading LLC P. O.

[meteorite-list] Dawn Journal - June 2, 2007
http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/journal_6_07.asp Dawn Journal Dr. Marc D. Rayman June 2, 2007 Dear Dawngeneers, Dawn has been greatly enjoying its stay in the Cape Canaveral area, literally the last place on Earth it will be. Following its arrival in April, the spacecraft and other equipment were unpacked and verified to be in good condition after the long drive from Washington. (Note that long is a relative term. Dawn's space voyage will last cover 3.8 million times greater distance and last 3900 times longer.) The spacecraft has not visited most of the popular sites in its vicinity, but it still has had a very successful stay in the Sunshine State. (Ironically, it has not been exposed to any sunshine there, but it will be see plenty of sunshine at its next destination.) One of the major accomplishments at Astrotech Space Operations was the successful completion of the final set of comprehensive performance tests (CPTs). It took about two weeks to run these tests on the hardware and software subsystems. Following that, comparison with the results from earlier CPTs verified that the long series of environmental tests and work on the spacecraft did not introduce any unexpected changes that might compromise its operation in space. The alignment of spacecraft components was verified and finalized, ensuring that antennas, ion thrusters, scientific instruments, and other devices are properly oriented. The huge solar arrays, the largest used for any NASA interplanetary mission, were reinstalled, and the deployment system was given one final test. The last time the two wings, each the width of a singles tennis court, were attached to the spacecraft was December. Each wing consists of 5 panels, and hinges allow the system to be folded for launch, so the spacecraft can fit comfortably in the rocket's nose cone (known to engineers and perhaps some otorhinolaryngologists as the payload fairing). The next time the arrays are opened will be when Dawn is in space, where its 11,480 solar cells will provide the spacecraft with electrical power. A battery will power the spacecraft from liftoff until it is able to extend the arrays and point them at the Sun. When it does, the full length of the spacecraft from wing tip to wing tip will be 19.7 meters (almost 65 feet), which is greater than the distance from the pitching mound to home plate on Earth's major league baseball fields. In response to many inquiries we have received, we should point out that it truly is purely coincidental that Dawn's arrays span exactly the same size as the famously profound sculpture Tribute to Coincidence, a popular site for visitors to the Small Magellanic Cloud. While some team members have been preparing the spacecraft, others have been working with equal diligence to be ready to operate it during its mission. Many tests have been conducted both with the spacecraft and with simulators to verify that all systems onboard and on the ground are ready. Mission scenario tests (MSTs) (initiated last autumn) have continued, with the final one on the spacecraft taking place on May 20 in a successful simulation of launch. Others have demonstrated the capabilities needed to diagnose and recover from problems during launch or during interplanetary flight. Some MSTs concentrated on the methods that could be used during the mission if it were necessary to reload software in the central computers, the computers in the scientific instruments, or the computers in the star trackers. Installing new software when a probe is far from Earth has proven to be a vital ingredient in the successes of many missions. Dawn also passed a series of radio communications tests with MIL-71, the facility at the nearby Kennedy Space Center that mimics all of the essential characteristics of the much larger Deep Space Network (DSN) stations. This work verified that Dawn's systems are fully compatible with the DSN, which, apart from happy memories and fond thoughts, will provide its only link with distant Earth when it is otherwise isolated in the forbidding depths of interplanetary space. The Dawn project also has been conducting operational readiness tests. (These are known quite unimaginatively as ORTs; and even less cleverly, the acronym is spoken letter by letter and not pronounced as ort might sound. Our readers on icy moons of gas giants certainly will recognize a thought-provoking concept herein, although it likely will escape readers elsewhere.) Some ORTs have used the spacecraft and others have relied on simulators, as the focus is less on the spacecraft and more on the team members and the processes, procedures, software, and hardware (including the selection of snacks in mission control -- kudos to the unofficial but vital mission control nutrition engineer!) they will use during operations. ORTs of launch and some of the activities that will be conducted to check out the spacecraft during its first weeks in space have been completed,
Re: [meteorite-list] S. Utah
Thanks guys for the suggestions on the S. Utah region for hunting. As all figured, we didnt find what we had hoped, but did get several hundred miles of ATV-ing in, and saw some absolutely beautiful country. Wow, really nice to get out and see it up close! I thought perhaps those large areas of greyish dried mud would be similar to dry lake beds.Not so, at least I dont think. I didnt get any beeps from deep at all, but can really only see down about a foot + ...and the surface stuff that I found, black and magnetic, well shucks, I cant tell what they are.They dont look anything like what I have collected or seen before, and there were so many of them that I suspect it was NOT anything collectable. I snagged a couple just to remind me of how they looked. If I get ambitious I will shove some photo's so you can peruse and advise. Anyhow, one more mission down, now gonna see where to try next.

[meteorite-list] Centimeter Cubes
A few months ago, someone asked where they could get a centimeter cube. The only answer was that somebody had an extra one he'd part with. I've been searching myself ever since. I Googled my fingers to death, checked major gauge manufacturers, and even contacted NIST. Nothing I'm looking for a good one. Nothing cheap with letters glued on. Does anyone know where I can buy a centimeter cube?

Here's a link to where you can buy as many of them as you want. They don't have letters embossed, painted or glued on them, but they come in a variety of colors. I don't care which way is North or South, so these cubes are suit me fine. They can be bought from Rob Wesel of Nakhladogmeteorites.com fame.
