[meteorite-list] Asteroid Pinpointed As Likely Source of Chelyabinsk Meteor
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23976-asteroid-pinpointed-as-likely-source-of-russian-meteor.html Asteroid pinpointed as likely source of Russian meteor by Jacob Aron New Scientist 01 August 2013 Who's been taking potshots at Earth? A new study shows how a 200-metre-wide cluster of rocks, first spotted by scientists in 2011, could have spawned the Chelyabinsk meteor which exploded over Russia earlier this year. If correct, that means we may need to watch out for further impacts from other fragments of the cluster, which are still at large, in orbit around the sun. The meteor that exploded over Russia on 15 February, scattering debris across the Chelyabinsk region and injuring hundreds , came as a complete surprise. Since then researchers have traced it to the Apollo asteroid family, but no one had matched it to a particular member of the group. Now Carlos de la Fuente Marcos and his brother Raul, both of the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, are pointing the finger at asteroid 2011 EO40. Roughly 200 metres wide, it is a rock or cluster of rocks - previously listed as potentially hazardous by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Rubble pile First the pair used a computer simulation to create hypothetical orbital paths around the sun that would have intersected with Earth at the time that the meteor hit. Then they searched a database of known asteroids for ones that could have produced rocks that follow those orbits . The closest match was with 2011 EO40. Most asteroids aren't solid rocks but rather rock clusters that have been gradually fragmenting for eons. Most asteroids are rubble piles, very fragile, says Carlos. So the brothers also simulated the disintegration of an object the size of 2011 EO40 and showed that it could fragment to produce a Chelyabinsk-size object that would impact with Earth at the correct time. Future observations of 2011 EO40 could help confirm it as the Chelyabinsk parent. Analysing the light bouncing off it would let us match its composition to fragments of the meteorite collected in Russia. Sending a probe to bring back samples of the asteroid is the only way to be sure, but that is a hugely expensive mission that is unlikely to happen. The cheap but not fully conclusive approach will have to suffice for the time being, says Carlos. Asteroid census If 2011 EO40 really is Chelyabinsk's parent, future observations should also help us predict if Chelyabinsk has any siblings still in orbit that might also pose a threat to Earth, says Carlos. Having a precise census of this population can help us predict similar impacts in the future. Jorge Zuluaga of the University of Antioquia in Colombia, who traced the Chelyabinsk meteor to the Apollo asteroid family, cautions that EO40 2011 has yet to be confirmed as the parent. And even it is, he is not too worried about it spawning further impacts. I don't think this particular asteroid is more hazardous than others in the MPC list, he says. He also points out that the asteroid itself isn't on a direct collision course with Earth, in any case. Meanwhile, other researchers are working to piece together the orbit of the Chelyabinsk meteor by different methods. One recent study by Simon Proud of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, unearthed satellite pictures that show what the meteor looked like from space as it streaked through our atmosphere. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] NASA's Space Launch System Completes Preliminary Design Review
August 1, 2013 Rachel Kraft Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1100 rachel.h.kr...@nasa.gov Kimberly Henry Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala. 256-544-0034 kimberly.h.he...@nasa.gov RELEASE 13-243 NASA's Space Launch System Completes Preliminary Design Review NASA has achieved a major milestone in its effort to build the nation's next heavy-lift launch vehicle by successfully completing the Space Launch System (SLS) preliminary design review. Senior experts and engineers from across the agency concluded Wednesday the design, associated production and ground support plans for the SLS heavy-lift rocket are technically and programmatically capable of fulfilling the launch vehicle's mission objectives. NASA is developing the SLS and Orion spacecraft to provide an entirely new capability for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, with the flexibility to launch spacecraft for crew and cargo missions, including to an asteroid and Mars. The review had to be incredibly detailed, so our plans for vehicle integration, flight software, test, verification and operations will result in a safe, affordable and sustainable vehicle design, said Todd May, manager of the SLS Program at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. This review concludes the initial design and technology development phase. The next milestone in the continuing verification process is Key Decision Point-C, in which NASA will grant the program authority to move from formulation to implementation. The agency not only reviews the program internally, but also seeks help from many external sources, said LeRoy Cain, head of the independent standing review board for SLS. There are several external NASA stakeholders and organizations -- including Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and the public -- who require a thorough, truly independent look at these programs as they transition through their lifecycle. People from across the country, including experts on 11 different review teams, participated in the design review process, which included analysis of approximately 200 documents and 15 terabytes of data. NASA's industry partners -- The Boeing Company of Chicago, ATK of Brigham City, Utah, and Aerojet Rocketdyne of Sacramento, Calif. -- also contributed to this successful checkpoint, and will continue to work to meet all program milestones. In July 2012, the SLS Program completed a combined system requirements review and system definition review, which set requirements of the overall launch vehicle system. That successful completion confirmed the SLS was ready to move from concept to design. All element-level preliminary design reviews for the SLS core stage, boosters, engines and spacecraft and payload integration have been completed successfully. In two short years from the first announcement of the Space Launch System, we are at a milestone that validates the detailed design and integration of the system, said Dan Dumbacher, deputy associate administrator for the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. You can feel the momentum of the workforce as we produce test hardware today. We are creating a national capability, and we will get this country, and the world, exploring deep space. The initial 70-metric-ton version of SLS will stand 321 feet tall, provide 8.4 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, and carry 154,000 pounds of payload. The rocket is scheduled for its first mission, Exploration Mission 1, in 2017 at which time it will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft. The mission's goal is to demonstrate the integrated system performance of the SLS rocket and spacecraft before a crewed flight in 2021. The SLS will be modified from the 70-metric-ton version into the most powerful rocket ever built, a 130-metric-ton version, which will be capable of lifting 286,000 pounds. NASA plans to engage industry peers to further refine the 130-metric-ton design to support any destination, any payload and any mission to deep space.

[meteorite-list] Water in a Martian Desert (Mars Express)
http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Mars_Express/Water_in_a_martian_desert Water in a martian desert European Space Agency 1 August 2013 Craters once brim-full with sediments and water have long since drained dry, but traces of their former lives as muddy lakes cling on in the martian desert. [Image] Tagus Valles in context The images were taken on 15 January by ESA's Mars Express, and feature a region just a few degrees south of the equator within the ancient southern highlands of Mars. The unnamed region lies immediately to the north of an ancient riverbed known as Tagus Valles and east of Tinto Valles and Palos crater that were presented in an earlier release. The 34 km-wide crater in the top left of the main images perhaps draws most attention with its chaotic interior. Here, broad flat-topped blocks called mesas can be found alongside smaller parallel wind-blown features known as yardangs. Both mesas and yardangs were carved from sediments that originally filled the crater, deposited there during a flood event that covered the entire scene. Over time, the weakest sediments were eroded away, leaving the haphazard pattern of stronger blocks behind. [Image] Colour-coded topography of Tagus Valles region Further evidence of this crater's watery past can be seen in the top right of the crater in the shape of a small, winding river channel. Clues also hang onto the ghostly outline of an ancient crater some 20 km to the east (below in the main images). While the crater has all but been erased from the geological record, a long meandering channel clearly remains, and flows towards the crater in the centre of the scene. This central complex of craters is seen close up in the perspective view below, showing in more detail another channel-like feature, along with a highly deformed crater. Perhaps the rim of this eroded crater was breached as sediments flooded the larger crater. [Image] Deformation in a flooded crater The crater is also seen from a different angle and in the background of the second perspective view below. In the foreground is one of the deepest craters in the scene, as indicated by the topography map. Numerous landslides have occurred within this crater, perhaps facilitated by the presence of water weakening the crater walls. Grooves etched into the crater's inner walls mark the paths of tumbling rocks, while larger piles of material have slumped en-masse to litter the crater floor. [Image] Landslides inside a crater A group of interconnected craters with flat floors smoothed over by sediments lie in the lower right part of the main image. One small crater with a prominent debris deposit - an ejecta blanket - lies within the crater. Ejecta blankets are composed of material excavated from inside the crater during its formation. This particular crater exhibits a rampart ejecta blanket - one with petal-like lobes around its edges. Liquid water bound up in the ejected material allowed it to flow along the surface, giving it a fluid appearance. [Image] Tagus Valles region in 3D But it's not just water that has played a role in this region; volcanic eruptions have also had their say. A dark layer of fine-grained ash covers the top left corner of the main image that may have been deposited from the Elysium volcanic province to the northeast. Over time, the ash was redistributed by wind, and buried deposits exposed in localised areas by erosion. This region is one of many that exposes evidence of the Red Planet's active past, and shows that the marks of water are engraved in even the most unlikely ancient crater-strewn fields. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Professor Studies Trinitite
Hi Paul and List, I have heard more than once that trinitite has some similarities to certain tektites. It is not as glassy as Darwin Glass, but outside of the coloration, it does bear some visual similarities to glassy tektites like Darwin and others. I have also seen trinitite pieces that have teardrop-like shapes, which also reminds one of some tektites, like indochinites. However, the broad similarities stop there. If anyone is interested, I have had some tests and analyses done on the trinitite I have in my collection - elemental composition, isotopes, radiation levels, etc. I also have several good academic papers on trinitite - some of which are in PDF format.

Yes, Cut it in half. Remember it's customary for hunters to share half their finds with their fellows hunters.
