[meteorite-list] Dawn Captures Video of Asteroid Vesta Approach
June 13, 2011 Dwayne Brown Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov Jia-Rui Cook Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818-354-0850 jcc...@jpl.nasa.gov RELEASE: 11-182 NASA SPACECRAFT CAPTURES VIDEO OF ASTEROID APPROACH WASHINGTON -- Scientists working with NASA's Dawn spacecraft have created a new video showing the giant asteroid Vesta as the spacecraft approaches this unexplored world in the main asteroid belt. The video loops 20 images obtained for navigation purposes on June 1. The images show a dark feature near Vesta's equator moving from left to right across the field of view as Vesta rotates. Images also show Vesta's jagged, irregular shape, hinting at the enormous crater known to exist at Vesta's south pole. To see the video, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/dawn The images were obtained by a framing camera during a 30-minute period and show about 30 degrees of a rotation. The pixel size in these images is approaching the resolution of the best Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta. Like strangers in a strange land, we're looking for familiar landmarks, said Jian-Yang Li, a Dawn participating scientist from the University of Maryland, College Park. The shadowy spot is one of those - it appears to match a feature, known as 'Feature B,' from images of Vesta taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Before orbiting Vesta on July 16, Dawn will gently slow down to about 75 mph (120 kph). NASA is expecting to release more images on a weekly basis, with more frequent images available once the spacecraft begins collecting science at Vesta. Vesta is coming more and more into focus, said Andreas Nathues, framing camera lead investigator, based at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany. Dawn's framing camera is working exactly as anticipated. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., designed and built the Dawn spacecraft. The framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germay. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin made significant contributions in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering in Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA. The video from Dawn also will air Monday afternoon on NASA Television's Video File.

Aloha, I'd like to announce a shocking new meteorite, NWA 6855. A single 91g stone was purchased at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show from a Moroccan dealer in February 2011. The stone was cut to reveal its highly shocked matrix. A sample was analyzed by Ray Pickard of the Bathurst Observatory and submitted for classification. The stone features brecciation and shock veining along with copious amounts of metal in blebs and rivulets. These slices were cut and polished by Montana Meteorite Laboratory and have a mirror polish on one side, to show off the beauty of this exceptional meteorite. All specimens come in a quality labeled display case for protection and years of viewing pleasure, along with a Big Kahuna Meteorites Certificate of Authenticity / ID card. Scale cube is 1cm on each side and not included in the sale. http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/NWA6855.html I will be away at the summit with limited access to email, but will respond to emails in a chronological order when I am back on earth.

A new set of images online shows the rover maneuvering its robotic arm and driving in JPL's Spacecraft Assembly Facility, where it was built. The images are available at: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/msl/multimedia/index.html . Assembly and testing work is on track for launch of the Mars Science Laboratory from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., during the period from Nov. 25 to Dec. 18, 2011. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. This mission will land Curiosity on Mars in August 2012. Researchers will use the tools on the rover to study whether the landing region has had environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life and favorable for preserving clues about whether life existed.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dawn Captures Video of Asteroid Vesta Approach
It will arrive at Vesta and insert itself in an initial orbit on July 16, 2011. A few months will be spent in regularizing the orbit and begin mapping, but there will be lots of photo ops during that. Dawn will remain at Vesta for one year, before taking off for Ceres in July 2012, arriving at Ceres in Feb., 2015. It's possible Dawn might go on to Pallas if enough fuel remains, but I'm guessing Ceres will be more than enough interesting that we won't want to leave. Or Dawn could prove to have the Mars Rover Spirit! Sterling K.

The video loops 20 images obtained for navigation purposes on June 1. The images show a dark feature near Vesta's equator moving from left to right across the field of view as Vesta rotates. Images also show Vesta's jagged, irregular shape, hinting at the enormous crater known to exist at Vesta's south pole. To see the video, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/dawn The images were obtained by a framing camera during a 30-minute period and show about 30 degrees of a rotation. The pixel size in these images is approaching the resolution of the best Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta. Like strangers in a strange land, we're looking for familiar landmarks, said Jian-Yang Li, a Dawn participating scientist from the University of Maryland, College Park. The shadowy spot is one of those - it appears to match a feature, known as 'Feature B,' from images of Vesta taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Before orbiting Vesta on July 16, Dawn will gently slow down to about 75 mph (120 kph). NASA is expecting to release more images on a weekly basis, with more frequent images available once the spacecraft begins collecting science at Vesta. Vesta is coming more and more into focus, said Andreas Nathues, framing camera lead investigator, based at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany. Dawn's framing camera is working exactly as anticipated. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., for the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., designed and built the Dawn spacecraft. The framing cameras were developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germay. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin made significant contributions in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering in Braunschweig. The framing camera project is funded by the Max Planck Society, DLR and NASA. The video from Dawn also will air Monday afternoon on NASA Television's Video File.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 001 question
NWA001 is a single stone just over a kilo. It was part of a very will mixed group of meteorites that was sold by retired meteorite dealer Michael casper. I cut NWA001 all up mostly into slices (Except for a 160 gram endpiece which I believe that Adam Hupe ended up with that was once the main mass but I believe that he cut it up and sold on ebay in pieces). I guess theoritically some parts of that end piece could look something like a half stone if it is flat enough but to call it a half stone seems to be stretching it. Maybe send me a photo and I can say if such a shape is possible to be from the original stone.. But otherwise there is no such thing as a half stone of NWA001. I still have a third of it somewhere so the total amount in collectors hands is well under a kilo. The biggest piece possibly remaining is the 160 something odd gram (I cant remember exactly the size) piece that Adam once had (Or possibly still has) and very little of it wasnt cut into slices (And from there mostly into smaller ebay size pieces).

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 001 question
Oh dont worry Dean, when i get it i will send you a picture for sure.. PLUS i will compare to pieces i have from the Hupe's plus i think i have a piece i got from you somewere also.. it just struck me as odd today when i was walking home that he said half stone... i'm giving the guy the benifit of the doubt as maybe he meant to say half slice and made a typo but he is an IMCA member and this isn't the first time i had a problem with him I am not mentioning any names as of yet because he is well known in the community and i dont want to make accusations against IMCA members because IMCA is such a respectable organization and i have respect for IMCA and people who advertise their logo i will not start pointing any fingers until i have the piece in my hand I'm still waiting for it in the mail... so i will wait this out and see what happens.

[meteorite-list] windowing technique
Hello all, I've been following this mailing list for some time, but this is my first post. Thanks for all of the good information shared here! As my meteorite habit grows, I've been experimenting with various home tests and techniques, using UNWA stones. Windowing stones is my latest kick. No power tools here, I'm just roughing them in with a diamond file, then sanding smooth with 100 grit sandpaper, followed by 400 grit to smooth out the scratches, and rubbing on denim to finish the job. Needless to say, my hands are rather sore! ;-) I guess the results are not bad under the circumstances. Here is a stone that I just polished today. I was working with a fairly flat surface to begin with, but it was a tough onestill took me nearly two hours. Pretty stone, I think: http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac16/rootplayer/UNWAwindow1.jpg http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac16/rootplayer/UNWAwindow2.jpg http://i881.photobucket.com/albums/ac16/rootplayer/UNWAback.jpg I welcome any suggestions or critiques on this windowing job. It would be nice to achieve a high gloss, polished marble kind of effect. I tried wet sanding on another stone, but that darkened the stone considerably, so now I'm only dry sanding. Power tools would be nice, but I live in a small apartment, and any large power tools would be out of the question. Thanks!
