[meteorite-list] SALE-Santa Rosa Iron Meteorite
Hi List, I have many gorgeous slices of the rare Santa Rosa iron meteorite. Some slices have beautiful graphite inclusions. Classified as an IC Ataxite but as evidenced by the photos this is not an ataxite but a extremely nice altered octahedrite. Very little of this meteorite has ever made it to any personal collections in the past. Most being locked up in museums and institutions. Santa Rosa has a very interesting story which you can view below! A couple of years ago an additional mass was recovered of about 30 kilos. These slices come from that mass These slices were professionally prepared by Marlin Cilz. There were only 7 complete slices. I don't believe complete slices have ever been offered of Santa Rosa. Now may be your only chance to get one of these. Less than 6 kilos are available at the best price ever offered for Santa Rosa at only $6 a gram. Some slices have already sold. FREE SHIPPING IN THE US!! $12.95 for international customers. See all that is available here! http://www.meteoritemadness.com/santarosa.html Reply to this message off list or email with your choice to r.cucchi...@comcast.net . First come, first served Thank you Bob C. HENRY A. WARD AND THE RECOVERY OF THE SANTA ROSA, COLOMBIA, METEORITE H. Plotkin, Department of Philosophy, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario N6A3K7, Canada. Email:hplot...@uwo.ca Henry A. Ward (1834-1906) was perhaps the shrewdest and most enthusiastic meteorite collector of his day. He was also very knowledgeable. Word of a massive iron meteorite in Santa Rosa, Colombia, captured his imagination. Ward's interest can best be viewed in the context of the confusion that existed between this meteorite and two other irons that had been found nearby, Tocavita and Rasgata. In an effort to clear up the mess-- and also to see if he could acquire the meteorite in whole or in part--he decided to visit the desolate locale in 1906, a few weeks prior to his 72nd birthday. My account of Ward's Colombian trip is primarily based on the extensive collection of unpublished material in the Henry A. Ward papers at the University of Rochester, including diaries, correspondence, and photographs. Upon arrival in Colombia, it took Ward nineteen days by steamer, mule, and carriage to reach Santa Rosa. He arrived at nightfall, but as soon as he looked out from his hotel window the next morning, he saw the large meteorite (612.5 kg) perched atop a fluted column in the middle of the town square. Ward realized the meteorite was highly venerated by the townspeople, and knew it would be extremely difficult--if not impossible--to acquire any of it. But he had a clever plan. Calling on the Governor, Ward boldly proposed an exchange: in return for a promise to erect a statue in the town square of the President of the Republic (who happened to have been born in Santa Rosa), he would be given the entire meteorite. The Governor liked this idea, and at a stormy meeting with the Mayor and other municipal officers forced their approval. Late that night, in the middle of a large eating and drinking party which Ward threw at his hotel for the townspeople, the Governor and a party of 50 soldiers quietly overturned the column, placed the meteorite on a cart, and whisked it away. Ward left for Bogota the next day, but shortly after reaching there heard that the Chief of the Colombian police had sent out a party that had captured his wagon, retrieved the meteorite, and locked up the cart driver. Although Ward insisted he had proper authorization for the meteorite, a heated legal battle ensued. A decision by the Minister of Public Instruction forbade him to leave the country with the meteorite, but he was allowed to cut off a large endpiece (147.5 kg) for his efforts. Ward took this back with him to New York, but he died tragically a few months after his return, when struck by an automobile while crossing a street in Buffalo. Ward's unfinished report on the Santa Rosa meteorite will be examined, as will our present understanding of its relationship to Tocavita and Rasgata. The main mass of the Santa Rosa meteorite (about 460 kg) is now in the National Museum in Bogota, while Ward's endpiece was cut up and distributed to various museums throughout the world for study and curation. 67th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting (2004) 5038.pdf __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Fw: Blue/Green Moon Dust in a capsule ended on ebay item # 200401095288
Part of what really angers me about this Turquoise-colored Moon Dust is that if you look at the ebay auction he included a photo copy of a Business Week, May 23, 1996 article that has a paragraph about Robert Haag's 1.35 carat Calcalong Creek lunar meteorite up for auction. He was using that with Bob's good name and that old 1996 auction as part of his ploy to sell this stuff. I honestly feel that the seller was obviously trying to attract us Meteorite Collectors but since he spelled meteorite wrong and put in his listing the words: NOT A METEROITE with that incorrect spelling, that most of us didn't see the auction when we searched ebay for meteorites and didn't come up with this crazy auction.

[meteorite-list] Frost-Covered Phoenix Lander Seen in Winter Images
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2009-160icid='MostViewHome' Frost-Covered Phoenix Lander Seen in Winter Images Jet Propulsion Laboratory November 04, 2009 PASADENA, Calif. -- Winter images of NASA's Phoenix Lander showing the lander shrouded in dry-ice frost on Mars have been captured with the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, or HiRISE camera, aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The HiRISE camera team at the University of Arizona, Tucson, captured one image of the Phoenix lander on July 30, 2009, and the other on Aug. 22, 2009. That's when the sun began peeking over the horizon of the northern polar plains during winter, the imaging team said. The first day of spring in the northern hemisphere began Oct. 26. The images are available at http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_014393_2485. We decided to try imaging the site despite the low light levels, said HiRISE team member Ingrid Spitale of the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. The power of the HiRISE camera helped us see it even under these poor light conditions, added HiRISE team member Michael Mellon of the University of Colorado in Boulder, who was also on the Phoenix Mars Lander science team. The HiRISE team targeted their camera at the known location of the lander to get the new images and compared them to a HiRISE image of the frost-free lander taken in June 2008. That enabled them to identify the hardware disguised by frost, despite the fact that their views were hindered by poor lighting and by atmospheric haze, which often obscures the surface at this location and season. Carbon dioxide frost completely blankets the surface in both images. The amount of carbon dioxide frost builds as late winter transitions to early spring, so the layer of frost is thicker in the Aug. 22 image. HiRISE scientists noted that brightness doesn't necessarily indicate the amount of frost seen in the images because of the way the images are processed to produce optimal contrast. Even the darker areas in the frost-covered images are still brighter than typical soil that surrounds the lander in frost-free images taken during the lander's prime mission in 2008. Other factors that affect the relative brightness include the size of the individual grains of carbon dioxide ice, the amount of dust mixed with the ice, the amount of sunlight hitting the surface and different lighting angles and slopes, Spitale and Mellon said. Studying these changes will help us understand the nature of the seasonal frost and winter weather patterns in this area of Mars. Scientists predicted that the ice layer would reach maximum thickness in September 2009, but don't have images to confirm that because HiRISE camera operations were suspended when Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter entered an extended safe mode on Aug. 26. The Phoenix Mars Lander ceased communications last November, after successfully completing its mission and returning unprecedented primary science phase and returning science data to Earth. During the first quarter of 2010, teams at JPL will listen to see if Phoenix is still able to communicate with Earth. Communication is not expected and is considered highly unlikely following the extended period of frost on the lander. HiRISE is run from the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory's HiRISE Operations Center, on the University of Arizona campus. Planetary Sciences Professor Alfred McEwen is HiRISE principal investigator. Planetary Sciences Professor Peter Smith is principal investigator for the Phoenix Mars Lander mission. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, for NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news166.html Small Asteroid 2009 VA Whizzes By The Earth Don Yeomans, Paul Chodas, Steve Chesley NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office November 9, 2009 [Graphic] Trajectory of Asteroid 2009 VA Past Earth on November 6, 2009 A newly discovered asteroid designated 2009 VA, which is only about 7 meters in size, passed about 2 Earth radii (14,000 km) from the Earth's surface Nov. 6 at around 16:30 EST. This is the third-closest known (non-impacting) Earth approach on record for a cataloged asteroid. The two closer approaches include the 1-meter sized asteroid 2008 TS26, which passed within 6,150 km of the Earth's surface on October 9, 2008, and the 7-meter sized asteroid 2004 FU162 that passed within 6,535 km on March 31, 2004. On average, objects the size of 2009 VA pass this close about twice per year and impact Earth about once every 5 years. Asteroid 2009 VA was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey about 15 hours before the close approach, and was quickly identified by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge MA as an object that would soon pass very close to the Earth. JPL's Near-Earth Object Program Office also computed an orbit solution for this object, and determined that it was not headed for an impact. Only thirteen months ago, the somewhat smaller object 2008 TC3 was discovered under similar circumstances, but that one was found to be on a trajectory headed for the Earth, with impact only about 11 hours away. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Troubled Asteroid Mission Stumbles on Road Home (Hayabusa)
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0911/09hayabusa/ Troubled asteroid mission stumbles on road home BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW November 9, 2009 Hopes are fading for the return of the Hayabusa space probe after another of its ion thrusters failed last week, leaving just one already-damaged engine to guide the hard-luck spacecraft back to Earth, potentially with the first precious samples of an asteroid. Hayabusa's four experimental microwave discharge ion engines consume xenon gas and expel the ionized propellant at high speeds to produce thrust. Two of the thrusters already failed before another engine shut down last Wednesday, according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Thruster D's failure was caused by a voltage spike due to problems with a neutralization vessel. A similar anomaly triggered the failure of another engine in 2007. The fourth ion propulsion unit, called Thruster C, was already shut down after signs that it also might succumb to high voltage damage. Engineers are now testing that engine to determine if it is capable of long-duration firings. Ion engines are more efficient than conventional chemical thrusters because they use less fuel and can operate continuously for thousands of hours. Hayabusa's thrusters have accumulated almost 40,000 hours of burn time since the probe launched in May 2003. The engine that failed last week had been firing since February to bend the 950-pound probe's trajectory, allowing it to reach Earth by June 2010 and release a small re-entry capsule possibly carrying samples from asteroid Itokawa. In February, JAXA officials said Hayabusa needed to accelerate by about 900 mph to reach Earth. Thruster D was slated to continue operating until March, when Hayabusa would begin coasting toward its parachuted return over the desert of Australia. Officials now say they are evaluating the asteroid mission's return course after last week's glitch. Hayabusa spent three months exploring Itokawa in late 2005. The probe took 1,600 pictures and collected about 120,000 pieces of near-infrared spectral data and 15,000 data points with its X-ray spectrometer to investigate the small potato-shaped asteroid's surface composition. The spacecraft approached Itokawa several times, attempting to fire a pellet into the asteroid's surface and retrieve rock samples through a funnel leading to a collection chamber. During a failed sampling attempt in November 2005, Hayabusa made an unplanned landing and spent up to a half-hour on Itokawa, becoming the first spacecraft to take off from an asteroid. Although telemetry showed Hayabusa likely did not fire its projectile while on the surface, scientists were hopeful bits of dust or pebbles found their way through the funnel and into the sample retrieval system. Hayabusa was later stymied by a fuel leak and ground controllers temporarily lost communications with the spacecraft, which is about the size of an average refrigerator. Controllers labored to overcome the issues, which were compounded by the loss of two orientation-controlling reaction wheels and power cells in an electrical battery. The craft's departure from Itokawa was delayed a year because of the problems, postponing its return to Earth from 2007 until 2010. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Ground Teams Struggle to Save Mars Orbiter from Itself (MRO)
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0911/07mro/ Ground teams struggle to save Mars orbiter from itself BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW November 7, 2009 Although engineers are still weeks from uplinking new command logic to eliminate an unlikely, but potentially fatal, scenario jeopardizing the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the mission's project manager said Friday he is confident the $720 million mission will resume soon. After four science-halting computer resets this year, officials in charge of MRO decided to keep the probe in safe mode until they could ensure the glitches would not threaten the mission. Engineers are pursuing two paths of analysis to reach a solution to the reset problem. One group is trying to devise a fix to be uplinked for the spacecraft to tell itself it is at Mars. Another is investigating the root cause of the events. In one far-fetched but plausible scenario, MRO could revert to its pre-launch mode and attempt to make a hardline connection with ground controllers more than 100 million miles away. If we had the same kind of resets that we've seen four of this year, but you get more severe ones and you get them too close together, you could have the vehicle forget that it's in mapping orbit around Mars and instead think that it's still on the launch pad and only communicate through an umbilical cable, which isn't long enough to get there anymore, Erickson said. Four major causes for the resets are being studied, according to Erickson. The candidates include a momentary glitch removing power from a component in the computer, a problem with reference voltage, radiation, or a grounding issue. It's more than likely to be one of those four things or a flavor of them, Erickson said. According to Erickson, it will be several weeks to a month before MRO is ready to gradually return to normal operations. The spacecraft has not been conducting science observations since its last computer reset Aug. 26. Since late August, MRO has been in safe mode with its solar array tracking the sun for power and its antenna pointed at Earth to maintain communications. It's the safest condition for the spacecraft, so we said just leave it there until we get a better handle on this, said Doug McCuistion, director NASA's Mars exploration program. In early September, officials said they expected it to take a few weeks to recover MRO and resume operations, but it has now spent nearly three months in safe mode. Erickson said engineers are testing the new algorithms on the ground before uplinking them to MRO. We take our jobs of protecting this vehicle really seriously, Erickson said. It's a really important asset to the American people. When we find something like this, we try to make sure that it can't happen (again). The worry is that MRO could experience two computer resets, more severe than any of the glitches so far, on its primary and redundant control strings within one minute of each other. The first one has to wipe out all information on the side of the spacecraft it's on now, and cause a side swap to the other side, Erickson said. And then within a minute, we've got to have the same thing happen, where it wipes out all the information about what mission phase it's in. It takes about a minute for the second string to repopulate the first string with information on MRO's mission phase. So you could have resets that are 1 minute and 5 seconds apart and it's not a problem, Erickson said. The computer resets began in February, followed by another anomaly in June and two in August. The increasing frequency of the events concerned NASA managers. The fix being designed by NASA involves changing data parameters in MRO's computer. When the spacecraft reboots, it searches a table in its nonvolatile memory in the command and data handling unit's computer module interface card, or CMIC, to determine if the mission is in pre-launch, launch, cruise, orbit insertion, or mapping mode. In all the places where it's going to look, we have inserted only the possibility to be in mapping, Erickson said. Engineers are leery of writing to the nonvolatile memory, which is similar to flash, so officials are being cautious to ensure the fix will not cause additional problems. They've been working hard on the testbed to try to understand the interactions of the software and the CMIC, McCuistion said. The new data parameter logic will likely be loaded into MRO's computer before officials identify the most likely root cause of the resets. It could take longer for engineers to close out the fault tree. They're having these resets due to a problem in the actual command and data handling system, Erickson said. It's a hardware problem. These resets are happening so fast that they leave virtually no trace of what's causing them to happen. It's happening in the nanoseconds to milliseconds range, so there's nothing. Just some indication that the event was 'this trigger happened' and that's it, Erickson said.

[meteorite-list] SaU 001 Incident Light Micrograph
Hi List, My first love in meteorite micrographs is high magnification incident light (reflected) images of thick samples. My first article in Meteorite Magazine was this technique. For the last couple years I have only worked on cross polarized transmitted light images of thin sections. One of the reasons is camera/adapter for my Neophot issues. I was given the use of a lathe and I turned down a suitable part to address this. I wanted to share a shot of a SaU 001 chondrule up close. If you would like to take a look please email me and let me know if you want the reduced embedded file or the full size 12mp as an attachment. (Many Internet hosts will reject that large of a file). I think the chondrule looks like a planet.
