In the Ural Federal University article, http://urfu.ru/en/news/news/5444/ Now RAS Committee is preparing to apply to the international Meteoritical Bulletin. It is suggested that the meteorite should be called “Annama meteorite”, for it fell near Annama river. So, this is the unofficial name at the moment, but might well become the official name. The fairly elongated debris field runs in the same direction as the river, so any new finds will also likely be within a few km of the river. -- Steinar __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://three.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Dawn Journal: June 30, 2014
http://dawnblog.jpl.nasa.gov/2014/06/30/dawn-journal-june-30-2/ Dawn Journal By Marc Rayman June 30, 2014 Dear Mastodawns, Deep in the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter, far from Earth, far from the sun, far now even from the giant protoplanet Vesta that it orbited for 14 months, Dawn flies with its sights set on dwarf planet Ceres. Using the uniquely efficient, whisper-like thrust of its remarkable ion propulsion system, the interplanetary adventurer is making good progress toward its rendezvous with the uncharted, alien world in about nine months. Dawn's ambitious mission of exploration will require it to carry out a complex plan at Ceres. In December, we had a preview of the approach phase, and in January, we saw how the high velocity beam of xenon ions will let the ship slip smoothly into Ceres's gravitational embrace. We followed that with a description in February of the first of four orbital phases (with the delightfully irreverent name RC3), in which the probe will scrutinize the exotic landscape from an altitude of 8,400 miles (13,500 kilometers). We saw in April how the spacecraft will take advantage of the extraordinary maneuverability of ion propulsion to spiral from one observation orbit to another, each one lower than the one before, and each one affording a more detailed view of the exotic world of rock and ice. The second orbit, at an altitude of about 2,730 miles (4,400 kilometers), known to insiders (like you, faithful reader) as survey orbit, was the topic of our preview in May. This month, we will have an overview of the plan for the third and penultimate orbital phase, the high altitude mapping orbit (HAMO). (The origins of the names of the phases are based on ancient ideas, and the reasons are, or should be, lost in the mists of time. Readers should avoid trying to infer anything at all meaningful in the designations. After some careful consideration, your correspondent chose to use the same names the Dawn team uses rather than create more helpful descriptors for the purposes of these logs. What is important is not what the different orbits are called but rather what amazing new discoveries each one enables.) It will take Dawn almost six weeks to descend to HAMO, where it will be 910 miles (1,470 kilometers) high, or three times closer to the mysterious surface than in survey orbit. As we have seen before, a lower orbit, whether around Ceres, Earth, the sun, or the Milky Way galaxy, means greater orbital velocity to balance the stronger gravitational grip. In HAMO, the spacecraft will complete each loop around Ceres in 19 hours, only one quarter of the time it will take in survey orbit. [Graphic] Dawn's spiral descent from survey orbit to the high altitude mapping orbit. The trajectory progresses from blue to red over the course of the six weeks. The red dashed segments are where the spacecraft is not thrusting with its ion propulsion system (as explained in April). Credit: NASA/JPL In formulating the HAMO plans, Dawn's human colleagues (most of whom reside much, much closer to Earth than the spacecraft does) have taken advantage of their tremendous successes with HAMO1 and HAMO02 at Vesta. We will see below, however, there is one particularly interesting difference. As in all observation phases at Ceres (and Vesta), Dawn's orbital path will take it from pole to pole and back. It will fly over the sunlit side as it travels from north to south and then above the side in the deep darkness of night on the northward segment of each orbit. This polar orbit ensures a view of all latitudes. As Ceres pirouettes on its axis, it presents all longitudes to the orbiting observer. The mission planners have choreographed the celestial pas de deux so that in a dozen revolutions, Dawn's camera can map nearly the entire surface. Rather than mapping once, however, the spacecraft will map Ceres up to six times. One of Dawn's many objectives is to develop a topographical map, revealing the detailed contours of the terrain, such as the depths of craters, the heights of mountains, and the slopes and variations of plains. To do so, it will follow the same strategy employed so successfully at Vesta, by taking pictures at different angles, much like stereo imaging. The spacecraft will make its first HAMO map by aiming its camera straight down, photographing the ground directly beneath it. Then it will map the surface again with the camera pointed in a slightly different direction, and it will repeat this for a total of six maps, or six mapping cycles. With views from up to six different perspectives, the landscape will pop from flat images into its full three dimensionality. (As with all the plans, engineers recognize that complex and challenging operations in the forbidding, unforgiving depths of space do not always go as intended. So they plan to collect more data than they need. If some of the images, or even entire maps, are not acquired, there should still be plenty
[meteorite-list] Rosetta: Four Done, Six To Go - Burning Down to Comet Rendezvous
http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/07/01/four-complete-six-to-go-burning-down-to-comet-rendezvous/ Rosetta Four done, six to go: Burning down to comet rendezvous European Space Agency July 1, 2014 It's burn week in space again, and Wednesday, 2 July, marks the start of a fresh set of four orbit correction manoeuvres (OCMs), referred to as the Far Approach Trajectory burns. These will be somewhat smaller than those previous but will be conducted weekly, rather than fortnightly. First, a quick recap to bring you up to date. On 7 May, Rosetta began a series of ten OCMs designed to reduce its speed with respect to comet 67P/C-G by about 775 m/s. The first, producing just 20 m/s delta-v (change in velocity), was done as a small test burn, as it was the first use of the spacecraft's propulsion system after waking from hibernation on 20 January. The system worked fine! The following three, referred to by the Rosetta mission team as the Near Comet Drift (NCD) set (and nicknamed here in the blog as The Big Burns), took place every two weeks starting 21 May. These three also ran beautifully and delivered 289.6, 269.5 and 88.7 m/s in delta-v, respectively. They were, in terms of run time, some of the longest manoeuvres ever conducted by an ESA spacecraft. Thus the first four burns have already delivered 667.8 of the roughly 775 m/s needed to slow down to a relative velocity smaller than 1 m/s when we meet the comet on 6 August. The OCMs conducted so far have delivered more or less the exact amount of delta-v needed; we've seen small over-performances of less than a percent, meaning that no replanning of subsequent OCMs has - so far - been necessary, says Sylvain Lodiot, Rosetta Spacecraft Operations Manager (see table below). Another aspect of the burns to date is the fact that, if a burn did not take place as planned (due to any sort of glitch on board Rosetta or on the ground), the team had a week (or more) in which to correct the problem and re-do the burn - tight, but doable in terms of technology and team-planning workload. This is about to change. Four Fatties The next four burns are designated as the Far Approach Trajectory (FAT) manoeuvres, and since your blog editors can't think of any better nickname (and despite them being much smaller than the three Big Burns), we'll just call them the Four Fatties. Fatty1 gets underway on 2 July at 14:05:57 CEST (12:05:57 UTC), should run for 1 hr:33mins:13secs and is set to deliver a delta-v of 58.7 m/s (the next three, on 9, 16 and 23 July, are planned for 25.8, 11.0 and 4.8 m/s, respectively). (The Four Fatties will be followed by two final CAT for Close Approach Trajectory - burns, for the total of 10 OCMs; details on these later.) But while the required delta-v's are getting smaller, so, too, are the reaction times available to the Rosetta team if anything goes wrong with a burn. The next four FAT burns, in particular, are critical, says Sylvain. If any one burn is delayed, we will have a window of just a few days in which to react, fix whatever caused the problem, replan the burn - which would invariably require even more fuel - and then carry it out. It goes without saying that handling any such replanned burn would require team work and expertise of the highest calibre. But this is all theoretical for now; today Rosetta is working nominally and no one expects problems with the propulsion system for the Four Fatties. The rest of the spacecraft's systems - including power, thermal, attitude and orbit control, data handling and communications - are operating as expected. Working behind the scenes: Flight dynamics It's worth mentioning the numerous teams - teams of teams - working behind the scenes to ensure Rosetta gets to 67P/C-G. These include the Flight Dynamics experts, who are responsible, in general terms, for determining where Rosetta (and the comet) are and what attitude the spacecraft is in at any given moment. Among other activities, the team are working on developing several mathematical models of comet 67P/C-G that can model and predict the gravity potential, the physical shape and rotation/spin, and the coma - the latter to predict how the comet's outgassing will affect Rosetta's orbits and Philae's approach. We need a good coma model that tells us the density and velocity of particles being emitted from the comet, says Frank Budnik, a flight dynamics specialists at ESOC. We expect the spacecraft to be affected by the coma on top of the comet body's gravitational pull, and these all play into calculating the orbits and the thruster burns required to keep Rosetta near the comet.

[meteorite-list] Venus Express Aerobraking Update - June 27, 2014
http://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2014/06/27/aerobraking-update/ Venus Express Aerobraking update European Space Agency June 27, 2014 Venus Express completed the 38th aerobraking orbit on 25 June with pericentre passage expected to have occurred at 21:37:04z; the spacecraft was in braking mode between 19:59:05z and 21:54:05z. The predicted pericentre height was 132.7 km (the figures are being confirmed by flight dynamics teams at ESOC). A second pericentre-lowering manoeuvre will be performed at apocentre (point of furthest distance from the Venus surface) in orbit 2991, occurring on Saturday, 28 June, aiming to bring the craft even lower into the atmosphere and target a dynamic pressure of 0.55 N/m2. To date, the drag exerted by the atmosphere on the spacecraft has reduced its orbital period by about 20 mins, so aerobraking is having a real effect! The mission control team and scientists are following progress closely, and will analyse the actual dynamic pressures experienced by VEX to determine if a further pericentre-lowering manoeuvre will be necessary. [Graphic] VEX pericentre height evolution The plot shows the evolution of the predicted and actual pericentre height since the start of the aerobraking phase. The data for the actual pericentre height is available up to and including pericentre number 2983. This plot does not take into account the lowering manoeuvre planned for day 179. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://three.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Hubble to Proceed with Full Search for New Horizons Targets
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2014/35/full/ Hubble to Proceed with Full Search for New Horizons Targets News Release Number:* STScI-2014-35 July 1, 2014 NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been given the go-ahead to conduct an intensive search for a suitable outer solar system object that the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft could visit after the probe streaks though the Pluto system in July 2015. Hubble observations will begin in July and are expected to conclude in August. Assuming a suitable target is found at the completion of the survey and some follow-up observations are made later in the year, if NASA approves, the New Horizon's trajectory can be modified in the fall of 2015 to rendezvous with the target Kuiper Belt object (KBO) three to four years later. The Kuiper Belt is a debris field of icy bodies left over from the solar system's formation 4.6 billion years ago. Though the belt was hypothesized in a 1951 science paper by astronomer Gerard Kuiper, no Kuiper Belt objects were found until the early 1990s. So far over 1,000 KBOs have been cataloged, though it's hypothesized many more KBOs exist. The approval for additional observing time for the needle-in-a-haystack search is based on the analysis of a set of pilot observations obtained with the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) director's discretionary time on Hubble. After a swift and intensive data analysis of approximately 200 Hubble images, the NH team met the pilot program criterion of finding a minimum of two KBOs. Once again the Hubble Space Telescope has demonstrated the ability to explore the universe in new and unexpected ways, said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Hubble science is at its best when it works in concert with other NASA missions and ground-based observatories. It will be many weeks before the team can establish whether either of these pilot-program KBOs is a suitable target for New Horizons to visit, but their discovery provides sufficient evidence that a wider search to be executed with Hubble will find an optimum object. I am delighted that our initial investment of Hubble time paid off. We are looking forward see if the team can find a suitable KBO that New Horizons might be able to visit after its fly-by of Pluto, said STScI director Matt Mountain. In early June, Hubble's Time Allocation Committee awarded time for a full search with the requirement that its implementation be contingent on the success of the pilot survey. From June 16 to June 26, the New Horizons team used Hubble to perform a preliminary search to see how abundant small Kuiper Belt objects are in the vast outer rim of our solar system. Hubble looked at 20 areas of the sky to identify any small KBOs. The team analyzed each of pilot program images with software tools that sped up the KBO identification process. Hubble's sharp vision and unique sensitivity allowed very faint KBOs to be identified as they drifted against the far more distant background stars, objects that had previously eluded searches by some of the world's largest ground-based telescopes.
