Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Ensisheim and Thin-Sections
I am sure it would be fun to attend the show in the castle if one could find the time. The New Team LunarRock just returned from a grueling 1,700 plus mile field trip. We camped out in long-forgotten ghost and mining towns and at one point sheltered in an 1860s field house, not to mention a creepy and abandoned old hotel full of spiders and other creatures. We endured some brutal off-road driving by following parts of the old California Immigration Trail, the only way to get into some pristine meteorite and gold hunting territories . It was difficult navigating the grooves left by wagon trains. One wheel in the groove and the other above it since the Rubicon SPL OPS 1 wheel width is vastly different than horse driven wagon trains. Shear cliffs, thunder storms, lightning, a funnel cloud dumping hail, mud bogs, rock climbs, heat and altitude all contributed to making the trip exciting. We completed phase one of the trip, are now resting up and will continue when other team members show up. Mark Action Jackson is due in later this week and the Rubicon SPL OPS 2 vehicle crew will be here next week. We will be testing hot weather equipment and will pick up any meteorites we run into unless they exceed 10 pounds if found on federal land.

An all meteorite show in a castle with all the beer and wine you can drink in Alsace. I could not make a nickel and still be as happy as can be. Not everything is a about the money. If you ever took the time to go you would likely have a good time. That being said I always make money in France even if I have to dig it out of the ground, which I always do.

[meteorite-list] Methane detected in several Martian Meteorites
The occurrence of methane in Martian rock samples adds strong weight to models whereby any life on Mars is/was likely to be resident in a subsurface habitat, where methane could be a source of energy and carbon for microbial activity. http://phys.org/news/2015-06-scientists-methane-mars-meteorites.html http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/150616/ncomms8399/full/ncomms8399.html __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Asteroid Icarus to Make Distant Pass on June 16 (Updated)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4625 Asteroid Icarus to Make Distant Pass Tuesday Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 15, 2015 Asteroid Icarus will safely pass by Earth at more than 21 times the distance of Earth to the moon on June 16. To put it another way, Icarus, one of the first near-Earth asteroids ever discovered (1949), will approach no closer than five million miles away (eight million kilometers). On June 14, 2090, the asteroid will approach marginally closer, with a close approach distance of about 17 lunar distances (four million miles, or six-and-a-half million kilometers). Discovered back in 1949 using photographic plates on the 48-inch Schmidt telescope at Mount Palomar near San Diego, Icarus was one of early near-Earth asteroids. It has an eccentric orbit that takes it very close to the sun, only 17 million miles (27 million kilometers) above the sun's surface. That's less than half the distance of Mercury's average distance to the sun. The asteroid was appropriately named after the mythical boy whose wax wings melted when he flew too close to the sun. For many decades, Icarus held the record for the closest known sun-approaching asteroid, but we now know of many other asteroids that approach even closer. In its current orbit, Icarus can approach to within about 4 million miles (6.5 million kilometers) to Earth, which means it's categorized as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA). Tuesday's flyby of about 5 million miles (8 million kilometers) is the closest Icarus has approached since 1968. That close encounter was noteworthy because it was the first time an asteroid was observed by radar. Icarus will be extensively observed by radar on this year's passage, and we may even obtain the first-ever images of this famous object. NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets using both ground- and space-based telescopes. Elements of the Near-Earth Object Program, often referred to as Spaceguard, discover these objects, characterize a subset of them and identify their close approaches to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet. NASA's Near-Earth Object Program is part of the agency's asteroid initiative, which includes sending a robotic spacecraft to capture a boulder from the surface of a near-Earth asteroid and move it into a stable orbit around the moon for exploration by astronauts, all in support of advancing the nation's journey to Mars. JPL manages the Near-Earth Object Program Office for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

[meteorite-list] NASA Administrator Signs Agreements to Advance Agency's Journey to Mars
June 16, 2015 NASA Administrator Signs Agreements to Advance Agency's Journey to Mars NASA Administrator Charles Bolden signed agreements with two European partners to advance Mars exploration and our journey to the Red Planet during meetings Tuesday at the Paris Air Show. Bolden and Jean-Yves Le Gall, president of the French space agency, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), signed an agreement for France to provide the mast for the SuperCam component of NASA's Mars 2020 rover. In terms of design, SuperCam is similar to the ChemCam on the Curiosity rover, which is currently traversing the surface of Mars. ChemCam analyzes rocks and soil to determine their compositions and identify samples for analysis by other instruments onboard Curiosity. SuperCam, however, will have significantly enhanced capabilities, equipped with four scientific instruments that will allow it to look for biosignatures -- indicators of the past presence of life -- and identify samples for collection and possible return to Earth. I'm delighted that our long time partners CNES will join us on the next step in our journey to Mars, Bolden said, We're paving the way for humans to visit the Red Planet and working to answer one of the key questions for all humanity: has there ever been life elsewhere? Bolden also signed an agreement that extends cooperation with Spain on the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, the NASA InSight mission that will launch next year to study the core of Mars, and the Mars 2020 rover. Bolden and Francisco Marin Perez, director general of the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology of Spain (CDTI), and Ignacio Azqueta Ortiz, director general of the National Institute for Aerospace Technology of Spain (INTA) finalized the agreement. The NASA-CDTI-INTA agreement continues operation and coordination of the Remote Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) instrument suite and the High Gain Antenna (HGA) subsystem currently on the Curiosity rover. REMS provides important data on Mars' weather, while the HGA provides an important communications link for transmitting data from the mission. Spain will provide the HGA subsytem for the Mars 2020 rover, as well. For the InSight lander, Spain will provide a suite of sensors called Temperature and Wind on InSight (TWINS). Through other agreements in development, Spain also will equip the Mars 2020 rover with a Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument suite and calibration targets for the SuperCam. NASA is proud to continue our strong collaboration with Spain that is already producing amazing results on Mars,' Bolden said. We look forward to this next phase of our partnership and a wealth of data about Mars, the next destination for human exploration.
