[meteorite-list] Slow list, time for study, planning new season and zones of suspect meteorite locations.
Dear List; During these times of slow list correspondence, and during times of heavy rains and snows in the western deserts of the U.S., this would be an excellent time to be gathering information, making plans for the rapidly approaching meteorite recovery season. The states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, Washington have been receiving rains and snows that will alter the surfaces of playa lakes, errosional zones of possible investigation, former strewnfields with new errosional effects, sand dunes, all those places you wanted to hunt but didn't have time to investigate with your pre trip field home work last season. Maps, GPS numbers coordinated on your maps, compass check and starting/adding to your field log book, order up your new scale cubes to replace the ones you misplaced~left next to test rocks, service that field expedition vehicle, study topo maps of places to try ones luck at. BLMBureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior has for most areas of the public lands in the west, maps that show surface contour, vegetation status, soils types (this one is very handy), a wealth of information can be hand for minimal charge. Now's the time to contact the BLM for your research maps BEFORE you head afield. State BLM offices can be google searched and there is a BLM link by going to my mjwy ebay about me page, searching for the chamber of commerce link for Rock Springs and there is a link there for the Wyoming BLM and can be probed for other western states' BLM offices for information. For those of you in other climes, the opportunity to drive around and visit with farmers and gain access now for spring field trips to private lands is at hand. Farmers tend to be easier to make contact with as this is their slower season and they may be found near the dwellings rather than in the back 40 with a tractor. Now is when they appreciate the contact. Be sure to educate them to meteorites and your sincerity and honesty before you start tramping around knocking down the crops and chasing the livestock. County governments have plat maps that show land ownership to make contact with land owners a little easier. Plenty of research time now, especially those who aren't gearing up for the big show coming up soon. For those lucky dogsthe rest of us hope your lust for Tucson catches you behind when the Spring collecting season starts up, you are all caught behind at gathering up your homework. Hope the dog eats yours, Best, Dave Freeman mjwy __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

The report said most of the meteor had already been broken up and taken away by local people before police arrived at the scene.

Three weeks later, the second rover successfully landed on the opposite side of Mars. One year later rovers Spirit and Opportunity have exceeded all mission expectations and continue to make discoveries. The goal of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission was to explore for a minimum of 90 days to search for evidence of past water activity. One Year on Mars, a special two-hour live event to commemorate the mission, will be presented at JPL on Monday, Jan. 3, 2005, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST. The live event, along with additional taped programming and live-shot opportunities, will be aired on NASA-TV. At 2 p.m. EST, a news briefing will detail discoveries made in 2004, and the rover's outlook for 2005.

At 3 p.m. EST, the MER team will present Mars Stories We've Never Told. This 60-minute live program will feature members recounting personal experiences of the past year. The program will end with the cutting of a rover birthday cake. Two additional rover programs will air on NASA TV on Monday. Twelve Wheels on Mars airs at 1 p.m. EST. This 60-minute program features professional storyteller Syd Lieberman, who spent several months with the MER team. Two for Two a 20-minute program about the rovers airs at 4 p.m. EST.

[meteorite-list] Hayabusa's Ion Engines Achieve 20, 000 Hours of Operation
http://www.isas.ac.jp/e/snews/2004/1209.shtml HAYABUSA's ion engines achieved 20,000 hour Space Operation Hitoshi Kuninaka Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency December 9, 2004 The microwave discharge ion engines onboard HAYABUSA asteroid explorer have marked space operation of twenty thousands hour and unit as the accumulated operational time on December 9th. HAYABUSA spacecraft, which was launched on May 2003, succeeded the Earth swing-by on May this year and continues to transfer into the asteroid using the acceleration by the ion engines. They generated 1,300m/s delta-V consuming 20kg propellant up to now. After September the space maneuver using three ion engines was throttled down in order to adapt power reduction of the solar array panels due to enlargement of solar distance. Furthermore one of three engines was turned off in the middle of October. The spacecraft stays in deep space 1.3 astronautical unit apart from Earth. The communication time lag exceeds twenty minutes, which is the time duration between sending commands and confirming answers on Earth. The telemetry bit rate is also gradually falling, so that the operation team feels helpless. HAYABUSA spacecraft, which is executing the maneuver operation diligently and automatically in the lonely deep space, is sturdy and dependable rather than us. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] moning numbers?????
Hello everyone, I am not even sure how Monig is spelled. But I have just purchased some meteorites and they are numbered. I know that someone on the list knows how to tell if these are real collection numbers and if they have any signifance.The numbers are printed on the meteorite with a fine white paint. The meteorites in question are all Toluca's and here are some examples. M8.35, M8.109, M8.41. I have several others but this should be enough to tell if they mean anything. Thanks for your help.

I have several others but this should be enough to tell if they mean anything. Dear Mike and List: Good evening. Well done Mike, you've acquired specimens from Oscar Monnig's meteorite collection. Oscar Monnig (1902 - 1999) was a native of Ft. Worth, Texas, a contemporary (and sometime colleague and competitor) of Nininger's, and one of America's great meteorite collectors. You can read all about him here: http://monnigmuseum.tcu.edu/oscar.htm Oscar donated his very extensive meteorite collection to Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth, and the highlights of that collection are now on display in the fabulous Monnig Gallery of Meteorites at TCU. Both the Curator and Director of the gallery are List members. As you may know, I designed the Monnig Gallery's website. Glenn Huss (Nininger's son-in-law), of the American Meteorite Lab, cataloged Oscar's collection (I think in the 1980s? Can someone help me here?), and he is almost certainly the one who painted the numbers on each of your specimens. M8.xxx is indeed the notation that Glenn used for Oscar's Toluca specimens. M1 represented Deport, M13 represented Canyon Diablo, M137 represented Allende, and so on through the collection. So the numbers on your specimens show that you have the 35th Toluca that Glenn cataloged (M for Monnig + 8 for Toluca + specimen #35), and the 109th, etc. I think it's safe to say that most collectors consider Monnig specimens -- or any specimens with historic numbers -- to be very collectable, and they're certainly worth more (both historically and monetarily) than ordinary Tolucas. You can search a database of Oscar's entire collection here: http://monnigmuseum.tcu.edu/Search.html I hope this helps!
