[meteorite-list] AD Book Les meteorites de France available at Ensisheim Show
Hello everybody, I'm making my parcels for Ensisheim Show. I just received ten books that I write in 2005 called Les Meteorites de France. It's in french but you'll have for 330 pages of history of all meteorites fallen in France and those who weren't found. A nice book for any meteorite collector and especially french meteorites. Its price : 40 euros. I just have ten books so tell me if you're interested so I can bring them to Ensisheim.

Hello All, The shoe seems to fit exactly. Here's an excerpt from Buchwald: Arlington and Tawallah Valley are perhaps the *flattest meteorites* known. Arlington is bounded by two almost plane-parallel surfaces and its greatest dimensions are 39 x 39 x 2.5 cm, but the *average thickness is only 2 cm*. Buchwald V.F.

[meteorite-list] Choteau - A NEW Ungrouped Pallasite Meteorite
Hi Mike, Thanks for posting the Met-Bulletin update! The most exciting meteorite on that list must be Choteau - and not just because of it's beauty. As the bulletin explains, Choteau is as ultra-rare as pallasites get, and has few rivals. View photos of this meteorite here: http://www.mrmeteorite.com/choteaunewmeteorite.htm Robert Cucchiara and I were lucky enough to have acquired quite a few slices and an end cut back when everyone was only guessing what it might be. Many of us thought it would be classified as a pallasite, but no one knew for sure as it does not look like a typical pallasite - and to make things more confusing, the isotopes plotted with the primitive achondrites! Because of it's rarity we're proud to say we've already placed slices in some of the best universities and museums in the world. View photos from our recent (last week) Smithsonian Museum visit. http://www.mrmeteorite.com/smithsonianvisit.htm We only have a small amount of this material left as most is sold or on hold.

[meteorite-list] NASA's Space Launch System Program Kicks Off Preliminary Design Review
June 19, 2013 Rachel Kraft Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1100 rachel.h.kr...@nasa.gov Kimberly Henry Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala. 256-544-0034 kimberly.m.he...@nasa.gov RELEASE: 13-189 NASA'S SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM PROGRAM KICKS OFF PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW WASHINGTON -- NASA is beginning a preliminary design review for its Space Launch System (SLS). This major program assessment will allow development of the agency's new heavy-lift rocket to move from concept to initial design. The preliminary design review process includes meticulous, detailed analyses of the entire launch vehicle. Representatives from NASA, its contractor partners and experts from across the aerospace industry validate elements of the rocket to ensure they can be safely and successfully integrated. This phase of development allows us to take a critical look at every design element to ensure it's capable of carrying humans to places we've never been before, said Dan Dumbacher, NASA's deputy associate administrator for exploration systems development in Washington. This is the rocket that will send humans to an asteroid and Mars, so we want to be sure we get its development right. The review process will take several weeks and is expected to conclude this summer. The preliminary design review is incredibly important, as it demonstrates the SLS design meets all system requirements within acceptable risk constraints, giving us the green light for proceeding with the detailed design, said Todd May, manager of the SLS Program at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. We are on track and meeting all the milestones necessary to fly in 2017. The SLS is targeted for a test launch with no crew aboard in 2017, followed by a mission with astronauts to study an asteroid by as early as 2021. NASA is developing the SLS and its new Orion spacecraft to provide an entirely new capability for human exploration. It will be flexible for launching spacecraft for crew and cargo missions, expand human presence beyond low-Earth orbit and enable new missions of exploration in the solar system.

[meteorite-list] Billion-Pixel View of Mars Comes From Curiosity Rover
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-205 Billion-Pixel View of Mars Comes From Curiosity Rover Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 19, 2013 PASADENA, Calif. -- A billion-pixel view from the surface of Mars, from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, offers armchair explorers a way to examine one part of the Red Planet in great detail. The first NASA-produced view from the surface of Mars larger than one billion pixels stitches together nearly 900 exposures taken by cameras onboard Curiosity and shows details of the landscape along the rover's route. The 1.3-billion-pixel image is available for perusal with pan and zoom tools at: http://mars.nasa.gov/bp1/ . The full-circle scene surrounds the site where Curiosity collected its first scoops of dusty sand at a windblown patch called Rocknest, and extends to Mount Sharp on the horizon. It gives a sense of place and really shows off the cameras' capabilities, said Bob Deen of the Multi-Mission Image Processing Laboratory at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. You can see the context and also zoom in to see very fine details. Deen assembled the product using 850 frames from the telephoto camera of Curiosity's Mast Camera instrument, supplemented with 21 frames from the Mastcam's wider-angle camera and 25 black-and-white frames -- mostly of the rover itself -- from the Navigation Camera. The images were taken on several different Mars days between Oct. 5 and Nov. 16, 2012. Raw single-frame images received from Curiosity are promptly posted on a public website at: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw/ . Mars fans worldwide have used those images to assemble mosaic views, including at least one gigapixel scene. The new mosaic from NASA shows illumination effects from variations in the time of day for pieces of the mosaic. It also shows variations in the clarity of the atmosphere due to variable dustiness during the month while the images were acquired. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory project is using Curiosity and the rover's 10 science instruments to investigate the environmental history within Gale Crater, a location where the project has found that conditions were long ago favorable for microbial life. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, built and operates Curiosity's Mastcam. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington and built the Navigation Camera and the rover.

Re: [meteorite-list] Choteau - A NEW Ungrouped Pallasite Meteorite
Hi Mike, Yup, they're beautiful! There is only six ungrouped pallasites and half are in the USA! Choteau (8.47 kg TKW) is in the same league as Milton (2.04 kg TKW) and Vermillion (34.36 kg TKW). The other three (NWA 1911, Yamato 8451, Zinder) have a combined TKW of only about 150 grams! Only a handful of collectors have been able to acquire a Choteau specimen. Very soon - as with all rare meteorites - there will be none to see short of a visit to a museum. On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 11:38 AM, Galactic Stone Ironworks meteoritem...@gmail.com wrote: Great find!

Re: [meteorite-list] Billion-Pixel View of Mars Comes From Curiosity Rover
I'm still stinging from JPL omitting one of the full-frame images from the initial series. Repeated requests to add it to the raw media directory were promptly and courteously ignored in the order they were received. I know it exists, because it exists in their own Pano. My software stitching is substantially better than theirs, and I spent a boatload of time on that series before realizing that they'd withheld one frame. Still irritates me enough that I'm just ignoring the entire mission now. ;-) --- Jodie Wednesday, June 19, 2013, 11:39:35 AM, you wrote: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-205 Billion-Pixel View of Mars Comes From Curiosity Rover Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 19, 2013 PASADENA, Calif. -- A billion-pixel view from the surface of Mars, from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, offers armchair explorers a way to examine one part of the Red Planet in great detail.
