[meteorite-list] cross sections
Dear All; Today I managed to make cross sections in some of the rocks I recently showed you. I must admit that the last one do not look like pallasite, but what I am sure of is that it is meteorite. By the way I am promised that some of the samples I sent to a reputable university in Germany will be tested this coming week. here are the cross sections: http://alifyaa.com/meteorite/crsc/index.html Best Regards Mohamed H.

[meteorite-list] Inclusion ?
Hello If You have time take a look on this foto http://www.meteoryt.net/ebay/sahara99477.htm In my new Sahara99477 I find something when I cut one slice. This is around 13x7mm long and this not look like chondrule or any kind of brecciation fragment, becouse there is no chondrules (looks like L6) and no brecciation (only long and big shock veins) What is it ? -[ MARCIN CIMAA ]-[ I.M.C.A.#3667 ]- http://www.meteoryt.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.polandmet.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vistapro.prv.pl +GSM (607) 535 195 [ Member of: Polish Meteoritical Society ] __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Unidentified Hunk Of Metal Hits Home In Ohio
http://enquirer.com/editions/2003/03/12/loc_spacemetal12.html Unidentified hunk of metal hits home By Janice Morse The Cincinnati Enquirer March 12, 2003 MIDDLETOWN - Intruder alert! Kristy Blair and her 7-week-old son, Josiah, were half-asleep in bed Monday afternoon when a hunk of metal, larger than a softball, burst through their ceiling. Crumbled plaster rained down. Startled and confused, Blair grabbed the baby and rushed out of the room. They avoided injury as the metal bounced from the bed and landed on the floor with a thud. The unidentified object left a 6-inch-diameter hole in the ceiling - and a mystery that has involved the Federal Aviation Administration and even NASA. We're holding it (the object) for NASA, said city Police Sgt. John Magill. They'll come and examine it. They'll probably take it. Blair, 27, laughed and said, I feel like I'm in the middle of an X Files. A police report gives this description: some type of metal, silver or aluminum in color, having a circular hole through the center ... damaged and possibly burnt with discoloration. That appearance, coupled with what appears to be the letters, U.S., make Blair and her husband, Scott, wonder whether the metal could have fallen from an aircraft - or if it could be space junk. __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Classified Ads at my site - Free Use
Hello Everyone, Thanks to everyone who responded to plea for help with testing a feature at my site. I have introduced a Classified Ads section. Anyone can post a meteorite or meteorite-related classified ad. The system is really neat because you can upload a picture to go with your ad. Your can also set email alerts to be notified when a new ad is placed so you don't have to keep checking back. There is also a field for a URL so you can link your ad to a meteorite-related website. Dealers, feel free to advertise your site. Collectors, feel free to advertise yours as well. The cost for using this system is one small SNC per ad, payable in advance to me! Just kidding :-) Actually, the cost is free. Anyone is welcome to use the system: collector, dealer (is that redundant?) or whomever. All I ask is that you abide by a few simple rules, as noted at the site, particularly the rule stating only meteorites or meteorite related things. No fossils, depression glass, cars, real estate, etc (unless your car happened to be hit by a meteorite. If you decide to place an ad and you have problems please let me know and tell me which browser you are using and I will look into it. I think it is well tested but you never know. Also, users at my site now have the capablity of peforming a Google search of the entire web or just the pages at my site. Also added a few pictures to my gallery and corrected some typos on certain pages (you guys didn't even tell me - how embarassing :-) Best wishes, Walter - www.branchmeteorites.com __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Where's is the other Steve Arnold?
Hello list, I'm send this out of a little frustration. I won an auction from Steve Arnold (in Arizona not Chicago )on 3/3 but have been unable to get ahold of him online and have heard nothing back from him. I'm guessing his computer is busted rather than any lack of integrety, having meet him in Tuscon. His website I.B.M. is also on the blink. If anyone is in direct communication with Steve or if you are reading this, Steve. Please call or email me. I'd like to get those auction items. Howard Wu Bishop, CA 760-872-9003With Yahoo!

[meteorite-list] Dawn's Early Light - March 2003
The Dawn mission has been selected as NASA's ninth Discovery mission to be launched in May 2006 to orbit both Vesta and Ceres. http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/dawn/newsletter/html/20030314/ Dawn's Early Light Volume 2, Issue 1 March 2003 Planning A Journey To The Beginning of the Solar System Carol A. Raymond Dawn Deputy Principal Investigator, Jet Propulsion Laboratory The Dawn mission officially started in September, 2002. During January, the mission team at JPL and Orbital Sciences Corp. reached full staffing levels and contracts for science team support were signed. The European team members at DLR (Berlin) and IFSI (Rome) have begun work on the framing cameras and mapping spectrometer, respectively. We are now sailing smoothly towards our Preliminary Mission and Systems Review in April, followed by the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) in August, 2003. The PDR is also the official mission confirmation review. Any successful journey requires careful route planning and efficient packing, and Dawn is no exception. Our journey will take us on a trip of 5.5 billion kilometers over eight years, with major stopovers at Vesta and Ceres. Thus careful planning of the spacecraft trajectory is critical to mission success. The Dawn mission design and navigation team has been hard at work doing just that, and a report of their progress by Marc Rayman is featured in this newsletter. The mission team is now reviewing the availability, cost and performance of the payload and spacecraft systems and making sure everything fits within the mission's technical and cost resources. Thus far no technical obstacles have been identified, but we did have to abandon our plan to use a lightweight composite tank for the xenon propellant, and instead will carry a heavier but more reliable titanium tank with composite overwrap. The Dawn Science Team will be meeting in Houston, Texas on March 16 (in conjunction with the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference) and in Nice, France on April 5 (in conjunction with the joint European Geophysical Society / American Geophysical Union meeting), to verify the mission plans and requirements, and begin planning for the mission operations and data analysis. A paper describing the mission will appear in Planetary and Space Science later this year. --- How Do We Get There? Marc D. Rayman Dawn Project Engineering Team, Jet Propulsion Laboratory The design of Dawn's trajectory is difficult, unusual, and interesting because of the use of solar electric propulsion, implemented on Dawn as an ion propulsion system (IPS). While providing performance far in excess of what conventional chemical propulsion would deliver, the IPS necessitates the use of design tools and methods quite different from what has been used for the development of trajectories since the dawn of the solar system (or, at least, since the dawn of space exploration). Rather than finding a few points at which impulsive maneuvers are required, this problem involves the determination of IPS thrust vectors over years of continuous thrusting. Unlike trajectories for ballistic missions, Dawn's depends sensitively on the spacecraft's power system (because power translates directly into IPS thrust). The tools that generate the trajectories require much more coaxing and cajoling (and sometimes pleading) than the tools that have been used for conventional missions. In addition to the different underlying mathematical problem, the use of the IPS necessitates unfamiliar constraints on the mission. For example, because IPS thrusting is needed for years at a time, the mission could be vulnerable to an unexpected loss of thrust. Therefore, a substantial effort is devoted to designing a trajectory with enough mission margin that most spacecraft problems that interfere with IPS thrusting do not jeopardize reaching both Vesta and Ceres. (Missions relying on chemical propulsion tend to have greater vulnerability for shorter times.) The initial work is focused on obtaining an understanding of the sensitivity of the trajectory to parameters that we can control. Ultimately we will develop a baseline trajectory that accounts for constraints such as the finite launch period, launch window, Vesta arrival window (to ensure good lighting for framing camera and mapping spectrometer observations of the south pole), Ceres arrival window (for lighting at one of the poles), mission margin, periods in which spacecraft activities preclude thrusting in the optimal direction, spacecraft power characteristics, flybys of other asteroids during the interplanetary cruise, and others. We separately analyze the orbit insertion, departure, and orbit transfers at each primary science target, where the complexity of spiraling around the bodies requires different analytical techniques. Steve Williams and Dr. Greg Whiffen of JPL are the principal trajectory analysts on Dawn.
[meteorite-list] Bologna Show little report
Hello all Yesterday I am return after 3 days of Bologna Mineral Show, the first show in Italy. The meteorites take the interest of the people and this year it was prepared a exhibithion of lunar meteorites with the DaG 400 main mass in first and a piece of lunar rock from Nasa. I have see in total 6 meteorite dealers - included me - from Carion to finaly Vassiliev, happy to see in Bologna, and the museum pieces have put for sale - Mauro you are happy of the Imilac slice ;-) - People is interested in meteorites, but is not ready to spend big quantitative of money for buy important pieces, ask many questions and buy a little piece of meteorite for curiosity. Some moroccan dealers is present in Bologna with the same ugly material, only one have good material - unfortunatly not the important material type Yousef ;-) - where I have acquired a new carbonaceous chondrite - over 200 grams - , a probably enstatite - over 600 grams - a nice Bensour complete individual, a oriented bowl meteorite with a very low low magnetism and other ordinary chondrites with a nice crust. From Vassiliev I have buy some pieces formy collection type a nice slice of the new russian pallasite, and I have cry many for the fantastic pieces show from Serguei, type a 13 gr. fragment with crust of Cold Bokkeveld...arghhhCarion is present with many ordinary material type Tatahouine, Allende, Gao, Sikhote's, pieces of the CR Taffafrast, Valera, lunar pieces etcTomelleri is present with slices of DaG 670, 669, 671 and others meteorites. I am present with 3 mt. of tables with new NWA material type my NWA 1701 Impact Melt LL5 Breccia, lunar material, historical type Pultusk, Ensisheim, Alfianello, Albareto and others.well, this is a little report, I hope to put a complete report for the Meteorite Magazine. Today I put the photos of the show, I addvise when is ready.
