[meteorite-list] Russian Mars Mission Halted By Glitch in Low Earth Orbit
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n/08phobosgrunt/ Russian Mars mission halted by glitch in low Earth orbit BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW November 8, 2011 Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission, an audacious effort to retrieve samples from a Martian moon, is stranded in low Earth orbit following a successful liftoff Tuesday from Kazakhstan, according to Russian reports. Two rocket burns were supposed to propel the massive probe on a course toward Mars late Tuesday, but indications are the engine firings did not occur, according to Vladimir Popovkin, head of the Russian space agency. The revelation came after a successful blastoff on top of a Zenit 2FG rocket at 2016 GMT (3:16 p.m. EST). Phobos-Grunt and an attached rocket pack separated from the booster about 11 minutes later. Radar trackers did not detect Phobos-Grunt in the expected orbit after it was supposed to fire engines nearly three hours after liftoff. The burn was timed to occur over South America and out of range of Russian ground stations, which are limited in coverage over Europe and Asia. We had a difficult night, and we could not locate the spacecraft for a long time, Popovkin said in a report by the Russian Novosti news agency. We now have its position. It was found that the propulsion system failed. There was neither the first nor the second burn. Popovkin said the spacecraft may not have issued the command for a specially-designed rocket system to ignite, adding such an issue was foreseen during the development of the mission. He also suggested there could have been a problem with the craft's orientation and switching from sun-tracking to star-tracking, according to the Novosti report. A subsequent story in Novosti late Tuesday night said such a problem could be due to software or hardware issues. If it was a software glitch, the odds of recovery are good, while a hardware anomaly could have more dire consequences for the mission, the report said. A senior manager at NASA's Deep Space Network said there is no agreement between the United States and Russia for tracking of the launch sequence with the network's powerful communications antennas around the world. The antennas could be made available if Russia requests aid, the mananger said. Engineers are evaluating whether the spacecraft can be recovered in time to upload fresh commands to attempt more engine burns to aim for Mars. According to Popovkin, ground teams have three days to try to devise a new program for the burns toward Mars. Because it didn't fire its engines as scheduled Tuesday, Phobos-Grunt still has a full load of propellant to get to Mars if engineers can find the cause of the problem and fix it. In a report by the Interfax news agency, Popovkin said he would not describe the mission as a failure yet. After initially reaching an elliptical orbit a few hundred miles above Earth, Phobos-Grunt was supposed to fire its main propulsion unit twice, first to raise its altitude, then to inject itself on a trajectory to escape Earth. Neither burn occurred, meaning the spacecraft is probably still circling Earth at altitudes between 120 miles and 215 miles. The orbit was supposed to have an inclination angle of about 51.4 degrees to the equator. The first rocket firing was supposed to raise Phobos-Grunt's maximum altitude to more than 2,500 miles. A second burn would have accelerated the spacecraft beyond escape velocity, the relative speed needed to overcome the influence of Earth's gravity and head for Mars. Phobos-Grunt should have been on an Mars-bound trajectory at 0120 GMT (8:20 p.m. EST). The $163 million mission's propulsion system is derived from the Fregat upper stage, a hydrazine-fueled space tug that often places satellites in high-altitude orbits above Earth. The Fregat has never been used on an interplanetary mission before. The Fregat-based main propulsion unit was supposed to stay attached to Phobos-Grunt for course correct maneuvers and a critical braking burn to arrive in orbit around Mars in October 2012. After getting to Mars, the probe was supposed to jettison the propulsion unit and deploy China's Yinghuo 1 orbiter, which rides piggyback on Phobos-Grunt for the journey there. By early 2013, Phobos-Grunt was scheduled to approach Phobos and study the moon with remote sensing instruments, giving Russian scientists data needed to select a landing site. Using a laser altimeter and radar navigation sensor, Phobos-Grunt was expected to descend to the surface of the moon in February 2013. Because of the weak gravity field at Phobos, the probe must make a gentle landing with little margin for error. After scooping up rock with a robot arm and placing the samples in a canister, Phobos-Grunt's return capsule was designed to depart the moon and target a landing back on Earth in August 2014 with nearly a half-pound of soil. After sending its samples back to Earth, Phobos-Grunt's core spacecraft was supposed to remain on Phobos for

[meteorite-list] AD: Special: The new, fresh and very peculiar Martian meteorite NWA 6963
Dear collectors, Today we have once again the especial pleasure to continue our serial of new finds of unpaired and extraordinary Martian meteorites. It's about the most recent Martian recovery of this year, which has found its way already as NWA 6963 into the Meteoritical Bulletin. Again it is an unusually fresh material. NWA 6963 owns a very good glossy-black fusion crust and the interior presents itself to be absolutely unaltered by terrestrial weathering. What is remarkable about NWA 6963 is that it doesn't belong to the olivine- and olivine-orthopyroxene-phyric main group, but that we have here a basalt, which resembles, if anything, Shergotty. Already the first long- and eagerly awaited cut revealed the fantastic texture of this Mars rock. The crystallization pattern consist of a a dense and angular lattice of broad spindles and bars, much more distinctly and clearer pronounced than that one of Zagami or Shergotty, of which some of you might feel reminded of. And other than these, which are gray, does NWA 6963 attend upon us with an accented greenish tint, which turns that shergottite into an acutely aesthetical delight. Classified was NWA 6963 this time by Dr. Carl Agee at the university of New Mexico. NWA 6963 is highly shocked, so that the plagioclase is completely transformed into maskelynite. The bulk composition is 60% pyroxene, 35% maskelynite, 2% ulvöspinel. Additionally it contains melt pockets with traces of merrillite, pyrrhotite and chlorapatite. Of course no abstracts are on hand yet, according to reports the composition of the pyroxene shall be very similar to that of Shergotty, and hearsay tells, that the bulk chemistry could point also in the direction of NWA 480/1460. Therefore a lot of research is still to do and with that NWA 6963 the scientist certainly will be occupied for quite a while, like it was with the previous, each for its own very special Martian meteorites, where we had the possibility to introduce them here on the list, and so we can look forward to thrilling results and publications still to come! Here you are now. All specimens down to 1.6g do have minimum one fully fusion-crusted edge. The smaller ones sometimes and here and there a few specks of crust. Note also, that this time, seen the news value, the freshness and the specialty of that amazing material among the other Martians and regarding the overall price level of the Martians of the last 2 years, we kept the offer tempting: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/specials/special-nwa6369.html Enjoy and Success!

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Central Flashback
Hi All, When I started collecting meteorites seriously in the early eighties (about thirty years ago), I purchased my first Allende specimens at about 75 cents per gram and I had to pay about 38 cents per gram for Nuevo Mercurios. Peekskill sold for about US $ 20-25 per gram. The US $ was about 2.62 German Marks in those days (Apr 04, 1984). In his Fall 1987 Meteorite List, David New offered Allende for about $3.00 per gram (exchange rate: 1 US $ = 1.8093 DM, Sep 11, 1987). David New, Sep 1991: (exchange rate: 1 US $ about 1.76-1.80 DM) Allende without fusion crust ca. $ 4.50 Allende with fusion crust ca. $ 5.50-6.00 Michael Casper's Allende pieces in 1998: - ca. $ 5/ g for a 1/2 individual with fusion crust and polished face. - a complete individual: 7.547 kg @ $ 50 000 (about $ 6.60 / g).

[meteorite-list] Russia Trying To Salvage Phobos-Grunt Mission
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n/09phobosgrunt/ Russia trying to salvage Phobos-Grunt mission BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW November 9, 2011 One day after a Russian Mars probe was left stranded in low Earth orbit, engineers planned to begin trying to save the mission Wednesday in hopes the problem was a relatively simple software glitch. After launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Tuesday, the 29,000-pound Phobos-Grunt spacecraft entered an orbit with a low point of 128 miles and a high point of 216 miles. But the craft's propulsion unit was supposed to fire twice later Tuesday night to raise its altitude and inject the probe on a trajectory toward Mars. Neither firing occurred, leaving Phobos-Grunt stuck in orbit. Phobos-Grunt was orbiting out of range of Russian ground stations for most of Wednesday, but its flight path was expected to pass over Russia again beginning around 1900 GMT (2 p.m. EST). Only then can Russian engineers begin to diagnose what caused Tuesday's post-launch problems. Officials are hopeful they can trace the anomaly to a software issue that could be solved with a reboot or patch. Top Russian space managers said a hardware problem would pose more dire consequences for the $163 million mission, according to news reports. Vladimir Popovkin, head of the Russian space agency, said the engine firing mishap could have been caused by a problem in the orientation of the spacecraft or the probe's computer may not have sent an ignition command on time. Otherwise, the spacecraft was stable and in a known orbit, according to Russian officials. It was unclear if control teams would upload commands for the engine burns Wednesday night, or if the next attempt to set course for Mars would wait until another day. The Russian space agency said they have two weeks to issue the commands based on the spacecraft's orbital altitude and its energy supply. The timeframe is different than the one initially stated by Popovkin, who said engineers have three days to save the mission. If Russia is unable to save the mission, the spacecraft would be subject to atmospheric drag, lowering its altitude until it fell back to Earth. Phobos-Grunt is more massive than NASA's Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite, which re-entered Earth's atmosphere in late September. The highly-publicized re-entry, which had a 1-in-3,200 chance of striking a person, occurred over the Pacific Ocean. A German scientific satellite fell to Earth in October with no reports of damage to property. Phobos-Grunt still carries a full load of toxic hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide propellant to reach Mars and enter orbit around the Red Planet. The propellant potentially makes Phobos-Grunt a greater threat to the public than either recent re-entry or the USA-193 spy satellite that was shot down by U.S. missile in 2008 to avoid an uncontrolled fall back to Earth. U.S. government officials cited frozen hydrazine fuel in USA-193's fuel tanks as the reason to worry about the satellite's uncontrolled re-entry, leading the Bush administration to shoot down the spacecraft before it could naturally decay from orbit. Russian officials quoted in the RIA Novosti news agency said Phobos-Grunt could remain in orbit for up to a month without a risk of falling. The Phobos-Grunt propulsion system is derived from the Fregat upper stage, a hydrazine-fueled space tug that often places satellites in high-altitude orbits above Earth. The Fregat-based main propulsion unit was supposed to stay attached to Phobos-Grunt for course correct maneuvers and a critical braking burn to arrive in orbit around Mars in October 2012. After getting to Mars, the probe was supposed to jettison the propulsion unit and deploy China's Yinghuo 1 orbiter, which rides piggyback on Phobos-Grunt for the journey there.
