Subject: [meteorite-list] Stardust - aerogel looking great
Hi,
I'm at Houston this week. The Stardust return capsule arrived at Johnson
Space Center today.
The canister was opened up, and the aerogel collector grid was extracted.
The aerogel
was closely inspected and photographed. I was in the clearnroom when the
cometary grid
was separated from the interplanetary particle grid. The scientists are
ecstatic.
More details will be presented in the JSC press release tomorrow.
