[meteorite-list] Red Dry Lake
It looks like Red Dry Lake near Kingman, Arizona will join the dry lake bed endangered hunt area list along with Roach, Mesquite and Harper to name a few . I was out their yesterday and observed construction or agricultural activity on a massive scale. The entire south area just off of the lake bed has fresh property line markers as far as you can see and there was a grader smoothing out large areas. They even carved out a 50 foot wide crude road to the lake bed itself. The graders are only about 1600 yards away from the lake bed and are about 100 yards south from the 1953 UFO crash marker. I know the federal government sold off half of Red Dry Lake to private land owners in 640 acre blocks some time ago. This is one of the few areas that you would not be hassled by the BLM since it is private property. It is a shame because new meteorites were exposed on the south end of the lake bed nearly every year and the ranchers freely gave permission to hunt there. I am glad that I found a large complete meteorite their last year since the prime hunting area will soon be graded over. Happy hunting while you still can, Adam __ 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] Mars Rover Opportunity Update: December 6-7, 2013
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html#opportunity OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Communications Slow, But Expected to Return to Normal This Week - sols 3508-3509, Dec. 06, 2013-Dec. 07, 2013: Opportunity is up on 'Solander Point' at the rim of 'Endeavour Crater.' The rover is maintaining favorable northerly tilts for improved energy production. Mars Odyssey went into safe mode and was unable to provide relay support for Opportunity since Sol 3509 (Dec. 7, 2013). The rover was healthy as of that sol. A Direct-To-Earth (DTE) transmission from Opportunity occurred on Sol 3512 (Dec. 10, 2013), providing a small amount of rover telemetry. That telemetry indicated a healthy rover. A drive was sequenced for Opportunity on Sol 3512. The results of that drive will have to wait on the return to relay service of Odyssey. Odyssey exited safe-mode on Dec. 10, 2013, and is expected to return to relay service later this week. As of Sol 3509 (Dec. 7, 2013), the solar array energy production was 268 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.587 and a solar array dust factor of 0.468. Total odometry is 24.05 miles (38.70 kilometers). __ 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] China's Lunar Rover Seen in Images From The Moon
http://spaceflightnow.com/china/change3/131216rover/ China's lunar rover seen in images from the moon BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW December 16, 2013 China's robotic lunar lander sent back its first sharp images on Sunday, showing the six-wheeled Yutu rover a day after driving off its landing platform to begin a three-month sojourn across the moon's barren soils. [Image] Chang'e 3's rover, dubbed Yutu, appears on the moon's surface Sunday. Credit: Xinhua Adorned with a Chinese flag, the Yutu rover appeared in imagery taken by a camera mounted on the Chang'e 3 mission's stationary lander, which touched down on the moon Saturday at 1311:18 GMT (8:11:18 a.m. EST). The rover disconnected from the landing platform beginning about six hours after touchdown, severing electrical and mechanical connections before sliding off the lander on a ramp and driving on to the moon's surface. One of the lander's cameras beamed low frame-rate video of the rover's first drive back to Earth on Saturday, but Sunday's pictures -- carefully choreographed in preflight planning -- showed more detail as the two vehicles were positioned about 30 feet apart. A report on Chinese state television said the rover would drive around the lander and take more photos of the other side of the craft, which appeared to come down on a relatively flat plain. An image from the rover's panoramic camera showed the lander's four legs resting on the lunar surface and solar panels extended to charge the probe's batteries. And photos of the rover taken by the Chang'e 3 lander showed the mobile robot's tracks entrenched on the moon's immutable soil. The rover appeared to drive away from the stationary Chang'e 3 mothership and perform a 180-degree turn to face the lander for Sunday's picture-taking session. China named the rover Yutu after soliciting suggestions from the public. Yutu translates as Jade Rabbit in English. In Chinese mythology, Yutu is a rabbit who accompanies the goddess Chang'e to the moon. With the receipt of Sunday's images, China declared the Chang'e 3 mission -- conceived as an engineering and technology demonstation -- a complete success. The moon rover and lander have completed the task of taking photos of each other. Data transmission was normal and complete, and images received were clear. The moon rover and lander are currently in a stable condition. I now declare the Chang'e 3 mission a complete success, said Ma Xingrui, chief commander of China's lunar program, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. But the rover still has much to do. It is designed for a three-month mission, and the Chang'e 3 lander could operate more than a year. The rover's ground-penetrating radar, which will resolve subsurface geological structures to a depth of 100 meters, or nearly 330 feet, is already activated. The Yutu robot also carries a panoramic camera, which is also switched on, and X-ray and near-infrared spectrometers to measure the composition of rocks and soil. The stationary landing platform will perform imaging tasks over the next few months. It has an ultraviolet telescope to observe Earth's plasmasphere and conduct the first long-term astronomical observations from the lunar surface, according to China. Chinese officials have not announced where the rover will drive after finishing up its photography around the lander. The rover stands nearly 4 feet tall and has a mass of 140 kilograms, or 308 pounds. China said the landing would target a site in Sinus Iridum, or the Bay of Rainbows, but the spacecraft descended earlier than originally reported by Chinese media. It ended up in Mare Imbrium, one of the dark regions of the moon carved out by a massive meteorite 3.9 billion years ago and filled with solidified lava. Space enthusiasts posting on the website unmannedspaceflight.com analyzed early imagery from the Chang'e 3 lander and concluded it likely touched down less than 50 feet south of a small crater rimmed by rocky outcrops. The rover initially drove in the direction of the crater for Sunday's photo session, but it was expected to move in a different direction as it imaged the lander from other angles. An analysis of the landing by Mark Robinson, a scientist at Arizona State University, shows Chang'e 3 also landed just east of a much larger crater. By correlating features seen in the nested series of Chang'e 3 descent images it appears the spacecraft landed just to the east of a 450 meter (1476 feet) diameter crater, Robinson posted in a blog. Robinson is the principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, or LROC, on a NASA spacecraft that has mapped the moon since 2009. LRO will next be above western Mare Imbrium on 24 and 25 December, and LROC will image the Chang'e 3 landing site, Robinson wrote Sunday.
