[meteorite-list] Asteroid Hopper is Lost in Space
http://www.newscientistspace.com/article/dn8311-robot-asteroidexplorer-is-lost-in-space.html Robot asteroid-explorer is lost in space Maggie McKee New Scientist 14 November 2005 A small hopping robot meant to explore the asteroid Itokawa was lost in space after being released from Japan's Hayabusa spacecraft on Saturday. But mission officials say the main probe will still try to land and collect samples of the space rock at least once before beginning its return flight to Earth in December 2005. The 10-centimetre-tall robot, called Minerva (Micro/Nano Experimental Robot Vehicle for Asteroid), was designed to hop around the 600-metre-long rock, snapping close-up images with three cameras and taking temperature measurements of the surface. It was originally to be released on 4 November while Hayabusa was approaching the asteroid in a test of its autopilot landing system. But this dress rehearsal was cut short because mission controllers could not accurately guide the spacecraft using its fuel thrusters - a contingency solution devised following the failure of two of the craft's three stabilising reaction wheels. Now a similar problem on a rehearsal descent on Saturday has prevented the robot from ever reaching its target. Breakdown in communication In the early phases of the spacecraft's descent, mission officials had used height readings from an onboard laser altimeter and the craft's speed to estimate when Hayabusa would be at Minerva's release point, 70 metres above the asteroid. But the slope of the asteroid's surface had apparently caused the altimeter to misjudge those first estimates of the craft's altitude. So mission officials were shocked when later readings revealed the spacecraft was actually much closer to the asteroid than anticipated. As soon as we realised we were below 100 metres, we decided Minerva should be separated, project manager Jun'ichiro Kawaguchi told New Scientist. Unfortunately, that point came when the main data link with the spacecraft was being switched from an antenna in Japan to one in Australia. During this 40-minute antenna change, information about the spacecraft's vertical motion was unavailable to ground controllers. So when they sent the release command, they did not realise the spacecraft had just fired its thrusters to maintain a minimum height above the asteroid - an adjustment it performed every 10 minutes or so during the descent. The command took about 16 minutes to travel from the Earth to the spacecraft, and when it arrived, the thruster firing had raised Hayabusa's altitude to about 200 metres. So Minerva was released while its mother ship was moving away from the asteroid at about 15 centimetres per second - faster than the space rock's 13 cm per second escape velocity - and the robot simply drifted into space. More rehearsals This is [our] responsibility, says Kawaguchi, who says officials simply did not account for all possible mission scenarios during the antenna changeover. Our readiness was not so complete. Nonetheless, he says the mother ship's practice descent was a success. It approached the asteroid to within 55 m and its laser range-finder - which had never before been tested - successfully helped the craft maintain its orientation with respect to the asteroid's surface. Still, he admits that mission controllers do not fully understand how to deal with the spacecraft's motion after the periodic thruster firings. So rather than attempt two sample collection landings as planned on 19 and 25 November, officials may decide to do another rehearsal descent on 19 November. We may end up cancelling the second sampling, says Kawaguchi. During the sample-collecting rendezvous, the spacecraft will attempt to briefly touch down on an expanse of fine dust in the middle of the asteroid called MUSES-Sea, fire a pellet into the surface and scoop up the resulting debris. After gathering its sample, it will leave Itokawa in December and then drop the first-ever asteroid samples back to Earth, over Australia, in July 2007. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 869 - approved by NomCom
Has anyone made any guesses as to the terrestrial age of 869? I ask because a rock that big must have produced a HUGE fireball and smoke trail. Even with sparse populations in that area, surely people saw it fall.

It would be thousands of years old in my opinion, many stones are half eaten away by sandblasting, some are perfect that were buried. It would have been a sight one would never forget though, likely brighter than the sun, thousands of kilos and tens of thousands of pieces when it exploded!

[meteorite-list] fake ebay e-mails
Hi All, Just a short message regarding ebay, in order to inform you that I have just received a new kind of fraudulous e-mail supposed to come from ebay. This time, it was supposed to be an e-mail from someone who was supposed to have won one of my auctions, sending me a message through ebay website and writing: I'm still waiting the package to arrive What happened? Please mail me ASAP or I will report you to ebay. As I did not know this supposed to be customer, I decided to check with ebay the origin of this message. Be careful because after asking ebay if it was a real ebay message, I was informed that it is not. And when clicking on Answer, it leads you to a faulse ebay website where you are supposed to enter your pseudo and password of course... As I had never received fake ebay e-mails of that kind before, I have decided to let you all know about it.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Vugs in Chondrite meteorites
Hmm, the reasons could be, anything you or I or another learned person might care to suggest. It may even be a combination of causes, ranging from, another secondary basaltic flow of material, heating underlying layers, a whopping huge impact on the material from an impacting meteoroid, a series of rather close calls to our Sun, during its travels in space. If it's from Venus, perhaps just sitting on the surface would leech out any low temp minerals, after reading about the sulphide snows on the mountain tops there. The alterations may also be due to a sustained period of time on Earth, with water leeching out soluble minerals, after being rained on many times. Anyone else care to add to the reasons for alteration and metamorphism in meteorites, folks? Kevin. Hi Kevin, Thank you for the reply. What would cause the low level metamorphism? I only have the 3 inch core to look at but I can see several vugs in an area of darker magnetic material that looks like magnetite. The surrounding area is the color you would see in a Fracnonia cross section. thanks again.

Just a thought after looking at it. Kevin. Hi List I am seeking information on why one would discovered very small crystals in a chondrite vug. I have photos posted at the below web site of the two different crystals discovered in a core sample taken from the 75 pound meteorite discovered recently near Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The vugs were discovered in the broken end of the core sample -3 inch core 1 and 3/8 inched wide. The meteorite is a chondrite and most likely a H-5 or L-6. There is a photo posted of a section of polished core about 1½ inches into the meteorite. In this photo you can see chondrules and iron and nickel pieces. Thank for your input.

[meteorite-list] Re: Brenham Follow-on Effect
Jeff K. posted: I have also found it quite amazing that this find seems to have generated such a vast interest across the US. Maybe even more than Park Forest. Dear Jeff and List: You've made a very interesting observation Jeff. I also believe the press coverage on this is much greater than Park Forest. We know of print/TV stories in Canada, England, Germany, and in your home country of Australia too (Melbourne Times) in addition to close to 100 news stories here in the U.S. I think the reasons for this are two-fold: 1) Park Forest was a random Act of God-type event. Once the story has been written, there isn't a lot that can be done in terms of a follow-up, except for those of us with specialized interest (i.e. How can I get a piece?). The Brenham story has human interest: here is a professional meteorite hunter and his partner who came up with a good strategy -- after ten years of thinking about Brenham -- and were then tremendously successful. Newspapers love big success stories, *and* treasure hunts, *and* local interest -- Steve was born in Kansas, so we have all three. 2) There was no sustained effort to promote the Park Forest story as far as I know, and why should there be? Phil and I have written press releases, sent emails, faxes, and photos all over the country. I hired a P.R. expert as my media advisor; we also have a new website under construction. Steve has done multiple interviews (even I did two interviews) and has staged public events: the big pallasite was on display at the Afton Observatory near Wichita on Saturday evening, and local TV and papers were there to see it. This is a great story, and a fun one, and we've worked really hard at promoting it. These things don't happen by themselves. Glad to see it's working! What's really interesting to me is how a story like this galvanizes the public, and suddenly people are finding meteorites under their beds and scouring the internet for more information about them. I bet all this media attention will generate more than one new meteorite hunter. When people hear about a Million Dollar Rock being found in a farmer's field, a lot of them want to get in on the action : ) My website has been hammered with nearly 2000 hits this weekend (about 300% extra) with people searching for Pallasites, Brenham, etc, etc. I've also had a plethora of emails from people wanting to know how much their meteorites (aka Normal Rocks) are worth. Same here. I've also had several crackpot phone calls from people who have found meteorites. One of the was really scary. The guy said he'd found a 6 by 10 ft. meteorite that looked just like dolomite. D'ya know what dolomite lerks like? he bellowed. He then went on to tell me he'd like me to help him with his book on the other side of evolution which shows that feller Darwin's ideas was based on a load 'o waffles. At that point I excused myself. For our friends in Canada, Discovery Channel Canada will be airing a new piece on Steve and the big Brenham either tonight or tomorrow night on their Daily Planet segment. We believe that it will be shown in the U.S. next week, and will try to get exact showtimes for you. Steve is finally on his way home, so hopefully he'll be able to post to the List soon.

[meteorite-list] Future of Meteorite Magazine
Dear Friends and Listees: A number of you have very kindly written to me asking if I would consider taking over Meteorite magazine. I am certain that I could not do nearly as good a job as Joel, but I thank you for your confidence in my abilities. Christine Schiff and I discussed this matter at some length, and I am taking the liberty of making the following statement on this issue, as there have been so many inquiries about the future of the magazine: It is the Schiff family's wish that Meteorite magazine be remembered and enjoyed as it was, and that no other party attempt to take it over. I fully support this decision. I do hope that -- at some point -- another great magazine about meteorites will come into being to follow in the footsteps of our favorite publication. I would be delighted to be involved with such a magazine, in some capacity, if the new publisher wishes it. If anyone is *seriously* interested, I will be open to discussing a new publishing project in the future, but right now I'm more concerned about assisting the Schiff family with the remaining subscriptions and so on.

Re: [meteorite-list] seti
Thanks for all the emails and links. It seems like such a waste to be the only intelligent life in the universe, if thats so. From: Sterling K. Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Neil Caliva [EMAIL PROTECTED], meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com, Darren Garrison [EMAIL PROTECTED], Jonathan Gore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] seti Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 01:06:42 -0600 Hi, There is a huge difference between detecting and discriminating an INDIVIDUAL radio signal from the Earth at interstellar distances on the one hand and merely detecting the totality of the Earth's radio signals at interstellar distances, on the other. Surrounding the Earth is a shell of EM transmissions out to a radius of 94 light years. At the outer edge of that shell is Marconi's transmission of the letter S in 1901. Faint. But at radii of 84 light years and again at 57 light years, quantum leaps in intensity occur. (That's the onset of commercial radio and commercial television respectively.) The TOTAL radio emissions of the Earth are TWICE AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN. Every radio astronomer within that inner 100 light year sphere (if there ARE any radio astronomers out there) is confronted with the paradox of a normal type G star which has an optically invisible companion which has twice the luminosity in the radio spectrum as the visible star! Studies of the motion of the invisible companion would show it to be in orbit around the normal star. There is only one possible explanation of an optico-radio binary star. That is, that the normal star has a planet which is SCREAMING its head off in the radio spectrum! And it's only getting noisier with every passing year, louder and louder! As for directed transmissions, we already have interplanetary radar signals that are 10,000,000,000 times brighter than the Sun! As an interstellar neighbor, the Earth is kind of like that guy on the subway toting the 300 pound ghetto blaster! If you have any hope that the aliens haven't noticed us yet, you can forget all about them. Which is why I find the beautiful dream of SETI to be just that: a beautiful dream. A Kardashev Level Two civilization (one which utlizes the full energy resources of an entire solar system) should be roughly the radio luminosity of a QUASAR! It would be visible in the EM spectrum at 100,000 light years distant (if the civilization survived for that long). In 300 to 500 years, WE will (I hope) be a fledging Kardashev Level Two civilization. There will be millions of powerful comet-hunting radars in the Kuiper Belt and the Inner Oort Cloud, billions of radar beacons on every rock in the system, trillions of TV channels (how many re-runs of the ancient classics like The Brady Bunch?), and an inconceivable number of interplanetary cell phones (most of them on hold and playing space elevator music). Our solar system will probably be the brightest radio source in the Milky Way Galaxy. If there are any aliens out there, you know, great wise space-traveling advanced aliens, WHERE are their home systems and WHY are there no bright artificial radio sources? If there is an interstellar civilization or many such, you shouldn't be able to point a radio detector to the heavens without having your ears blown off. We should be awash in a cacophony of re-runs of the Arcturian I Love Lucy or the Tau Ceti Milton Berle. I say this as a person who, for many years, DONATED more money to SETI than I spent on, say, buying meteorites, or even books, so I was not without hope in that dream. But I have concluded that it was just that... a dream. Sterling K. Webb --- Neil Caliva wrote: Hi List, How far could our EM signals generated by humans be detected?
