Last week, the rover's science team announced that analysis of powder from a drilled mudstone rock on Mars indicates past environmental conditions that were favorable for microbial life. Additional findings presented today (March 18) at a news briefing at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, suggest those conditions extended beyond the site of the drilling. Using infrared-imaging capability of a camera on the rover and an instrument that shoots neutrons into the ground to probe for hydrogen, researchers have found more hydration of minerals near the clay-bearing rock than at locations Curiosity visited earlier. The rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam) can also serve as a mineral-detecting and hydration-detecting tool, reported Jim Bell of Arizona State University, Tempe. Some iron-bearing rocks and minerals can be detected and mapped using the Mastcam's near-infrared filters. Ratios of brightness in different Mastcam near-infrared wavelengths can indicate the presence of some hydrated minerals. The technique was used to check rocks in the Yellowknife Bay area where Curiosity's drill last month collected the first powder from the interior of a rock on Mars. Some rocks in Yellowknife Bay are crisscrossed with bright veins. With Mastcam, we see elevated hydration signals in the narrow veins that cut many of the rocks in this area, said Melissa Rice of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. These bright veins contain hydrated minerals that are different from the clay minerals in the surrounding rock matrix. The Russian-made Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) instrument on Curiosity detects hydrogen beneath the rover. At the rover's very dry study area on Mars, the detected hydrogen is mainly in water molecules bound into minerals. We definitely see signal variation along the traverse from the landing point to Yellowknife Bay, said DAN Deputy Principal Investigator Maxim Litvak of the Space Research Institute, Moscow. More water is detected at Yellowknife Bay than earlier on the route. Even within Yellowknife Bay, we see significant variation. Findings presented today from the Canadian-made Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on Curiosity's arm indicate that the wet environmental processes that produced clay at Yellowknife Bay did so without much change in the overall mix of chemical elements present. The elemental composition of the outcrop Curiosity drilled into matches the composition of basalt. For example, it has basalt-like proportions of silicon, aluminum, magnesium and iron. Basalt is the most common rock type on Mars. It is igneous, but it is also thought to be the parent material for sedimentary rocks Curiosity has examined. The elemental composition of rocks in Yellowknife Bay wasn't changed much by mineral alteration, said Curiosity science team member Mariek Schmidt of Brock University, Saint Catharines, Ontario, Canada. A dust coating on rocks had made the composition detected by APXS not quite a match for basalt until Curiosity used a brush to sweep the dust away. After that, APXS saw less sulfur. By removing the dust, we've got a better reading that pushes the classification toward basaltic composition, Schmidt said. The sedimentary rocks at Yellowknife Bay likely formed when original basaltic rocks were broken into fragments, transported, re-deposited as sedimentary particles, and mineralogically altered by exposure to water. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using Curiosity to investigate whether an area within Mars' Gale Crater has ever offered an environment favorable for microbial life. Curiosity, carrying 10

[meteorite-list] MESSENGER Completes Its First Extended Mission at Mercury
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=237 MESSENGER Mission News March 18, 2013 MESSENGER Completes Its First Extended Mission at Mercury On March 17, 2013, MESSENGER successfully completed its year-long first extended mission in orbit about Mercury, building on the groundbreaking scientific results from its earlier primary mission. Today the team is poised to embark on a second extended mission that promises to provide new observations of Mercury's surface and interior at unprecedented spatial resolution and of the planet's dynamic magnetosphere and exosphere at high time resolution during the peak and declining phase of the current solar cycle. NASA is currently considering a second extension to mission operations and until the formal decision is made has asked that we continue to operate the spacecraft and its scientific instruments, says MESSENGER Project Manager Helene Winters of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland. During its first extended mission, MESSENGER completed 12 specialized measurement campaigns that led to new discoveries about surface volatiles on Mercury, the duration of volcanism, the evolution of long-wavelength topography, the nature of localized regions of enhanced exospheric density, the effect of the solar cycle on Mercury's exosphere, and Mercury's energetic electrons. Among the most recent results was confirmation of the long-held theory that the planet harbors abundant water ice and other frozen volatile materials within its permanently shadowed polar craters. If approved by NASA, a second extended mission would seek answers to still further questions, each stimulated by findings from the primary mission and first extended mission, including: * What active and recent processes have affected Mercury's surface? * How has the state of stress in Mercury's crust evolved over time? * How have compositions of volcanic materials on Mercury varied with time? * What are the characteristics of volatile sequestration in Mercury's north polar region? * What are the consequences of precipitating ions and energetic electrons at Mercury? * How do Mercury's exosphere and magnetosphere respond to extreme solar wind conditions near and following solar maximum? * What novel insights into Mercury's thermal and crustal evolution can be obtained from high-resolution measurements made at low altitudes? A possible second extended mission is among the topics MESSENGER team members will be discussing on March 20 in a session http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2013/pdf/sess303.pdf at the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands, Texas. Mercury has been revealing its many secrets, but each discovery has led to new puzzles, adds MESSENGER Principal Investigator Sean Solomon, of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. We now have a healthy spacecraft in orbit around a planet that will not be visited by spacecraft again for more than 10 years. Our scientific plans for a second extended mission build on past discoveries, can be accomplished with planned orbital observations, span an unprecedented phase of the solar cycle, and include extraordinarily low-altitude campaigns that will offer spectacular new views of Mercury's surface and near-surface environment. We hope that NASA will support the continued investigation of the most enigmatic of the inner planets. MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet and entered orbit about Mercury on March 17, 2011 (March 18, 2011 UTC), to begin a yearlong study of its target planet. MESSENGER's extended mission began on March 18, 2012, and ended one year later. A possible second extended mission is currently under evaluation by NASA. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, the Director of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, leads the mission as Principal Investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages this Discovery-class mission for NASA. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Goldstone Radar Snags Images of Asteroid 2013 ET
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-101 Goldstone Radar Snags Images of Asteroid 2013 ET Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 18, 2013 A sequence of radar images of asteroid 2013 ET was obtained on March 10, 2013, by NASA scientists using the 230-foot (70-meter) Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif., when the asteroid was about 693,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers) from Earth, which is 2.9 lunar distances. The radar imagery suggests the irregularly shaped object is at least 130 feet (40 meters) wide. The 18 radar images were taken over a span of 1.3 hours. During that interval, the asteroid completed only a fraction of one rotation, suggesting that it rotates once every few hours. The radar observations were led by scientists Marina Brozovic and Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Radar is a powerful technique for studying an asteroid's size, shape, rotation state, surface features and surface roughness, and for improving the calculation of asteroid orbits. Radar measurements of asteroid distances and velocities often enable computation of asteroid orbits much further into the future than if radar observations weren't available. NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets passing close to Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called Spaceguard, discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them, and plots their orbits to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet. JPL manages the Near-Earth Object Program Office for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

[meteorite-list] New Curiosity 'Safe Mode' Status Expected to be Brief
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-100 New Curiosity 'Safe Mode' Status Expected to be Brief Jet Propulsion Laboratory March 18, 2013 Mars Science Laboratory Mission Status Report PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is expected to resume science investigations in a few days, as engineers quickly diagnosed a software issue that prompted the rover to put itself into a precautionary standby status over the weekend. Curiosity initiated this automated fault-protection action, entering safe mode at about 8 p.m. PDT (11 p.m. EDT) on March 16, while operating on the B-side computer, one of its two main computers that are redundant to each other. It did not switch to the A-side computer, which was restored last week and is available as a back-up if needed. The rover is stable, healthy and in communication with engineers. The safe-mode entry was triggered when a command file failed a size-check by the rover's protective software. Engineers diagnosed a software bug that appended an unrelated file to the file being checked, causing the size mismatch. This is a very straightforward matter to deal with, said the project manager for Curiosity, Richard Cook of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. We can just delete that file, which we don't need any more, and we know how to keep this from occurring in the future. The mission's science observations have been on hold since a memory glitch on the A-side computer on Feb. 27, which prompted controllers to command a swap from the A-side computer to the B-side computer. That operator-commanded swap put Curiosity into safe mode for two days. The rover team restored the availability of the A-side as a backup and prepared the B-side to resume full operations. Cautiously bringing Curiosity out of safe mode status on the B-side is expected to take a couple of days. A four-week moratorium on sending commands to the rover will begin April 4 due to solar system geometry of Mars passing nearly directly behind the sun from Earth's perspective. The moratorium is a precaution against interference by the sun corrupting a command sent to the rover. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory project is using Curiosity and the rover's 10 science instruments to investigate environmental history within Gale Crater, a location where the project has found that conditions were long ago favorable for microbial life. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

Re: [meteorite-list] Found this article: Possible risks of eBay sales of Chelyabinsk meteorite fragments
Like one of the great Russian novels, the laws appear to be ambiguous, full of characters and will take a while to get through. As a funny point, many of the recent meteorites were not found below ground level. My understanding is that they were actually found above ground captured by the snow. So the argument given in the article is null and void. The other great one is:“If a meteorite is not a life-threatening object, if it is not a health hazard, if it has no scientific value, and if it does not contain precious and non-ferrous metals, then under Article 221 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation it becomes the property of the person who found it,” says Taltseva. Talk about getting it all wrong! If they do pass any kind of law, I wonder if they will grandfather in previous falls and finds, most notably Sikhote Alin, Seymchan, etc. Mendy Ouzillou From: Don Merchant dmerc...@rochester.rr.com To: Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Cc: Don Merchant dmerc...@rochester.rr.com Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 6:09 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] Found this article: Possible risks of eBay sales of Chelyabinsk meteorite fragments http://rapsinews.com/legislation_publication/20130227/266535875.html Sincerely Don Merchant Founder-Cosmic Treasures Celestial Wonders www.ctreasurescwonders.com IMCA #0960 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
