[meteorite-list] Curiosity Mars Rover Checking Possible Smoother Route
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-028 Curiosity Mars Rover Checking Possible Smoother Route Jet Propulsion Laboratory January 29, 2014 [Images] * Curiosity Mars Rover Approaches 'Dingo Gap,' Mastcam View * Full-Circle Vista During Curiosity's Approach to 'Dingo Gap' * Full-Circle Vista During Curiosity's Approach to 'Dingo Gap' (Stereo) * Traverse Map for Mars Rover Curiosity as of Jan. 26, 2014 * Crystal-Laden Martian Rock Examined by Curiosity's Laser Instrument * Graph shows the cumulative total of pulses Mars Science Laboratory Mission Status Report The team operating NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is considering a path across a small sand dune to reach a favorable route to science destinations. A favorable route would skirt some terrain with sharp rocks considered more likely to poke holes in the rover's aluminum wheels. While the team has been assessing ways to reduce wear and tear to the wheels, Curiosity has made progress toward a next site for drilling a rock sample and also toward its long-term destination: geological layers exposed on slopes of Mount Sharp. The rover has driven into a mapping quadrant that includes a candidate site for drilling. Meanwhile, testing on Earth is validating capabilities for drilling into rocks on slopes the rover will likely encounter on Mount Sharp. Curiosity has driven 865 feet (264.7 meters) since Jan. 1, for a total odometry of 3.04 miles (4.89 kilometers) since its August 2012 landing. Accumulation of punctures and rips in the wheels accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2013. Among the responses to that development, the team now drives the rover with added precautions, thoroughly checks the condition of Curiosity's wheels frequently, and is evaluating routes and driving methods that could avoid some wheel damage. A dune about 3 feet (1 meter) high spans the gap between two scarps that might be a gateway to a southwestward route over relatively smooth ground. Curiosity is approaching the site, Dingo Gap, from the southeast. The team is using images from the rover to assess whether to cross the dune. The decision hasn't been made yet, but it is prudent to go check, said Jim Erickson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., project manager for Curiosity. We'll take a peek over the dune into the valley immediately to the west to see whether the terrain looks as good as the analysis of orbital images implies. The orbital images come from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Other routes have also been evaluated for getting Curiosity from the rover's current location to a candidate drilling site called KMS-9. That site lies about half a mile (800 meters) away by straight line, but considerably farther by any of the driving routes assessed. Characteristics seen in orbital imagery of the site appeal to Curiosity's science team. At KMS-9, we see three terrain types exposed and a relatively dust-free surface, said science team collaborator Katie Stack of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. Before Curiosity's landing inside Gale Crater, the mission's science team used images from orbit to map terrain types in a grid of 140 square quadrants, each about 0.9 mile (1.5 kilometers) wide. Curiosity landed in the Yellowknife quadrant and subsequently crossed parts of quadrants called Mawson and Coeymans. This month, it entered the Kimberley quadrant, home of KMS-9. Stack said, This area is appealing because we can see terrain units unlike any that Curiosity has visited so far. One unit has striations all oriented in a similar direction. Another is smooth, without striations. We don't know yet what they are. The big draw is exploration and seeing new things. Science investigations have continued along with recent drives. One rock examined on Jan. 15, Harrison, revealed linear crystals with feldspar-rich composition. To prepare for destinations farther ahead, engineers are using a test rover at JPL to check the rover's ability to tolerate slight slippage on slopes while using its drill. With the drill bit in a rock, tests simulating slips of up to about 2 inches (5 centimeters) have not caused damage. These tests are building confidence for operations we are likely to use when Curiosity is on the slopes of Mount Sharp, said JPL's Daniel Limonadi, systems engineering leader for surface sampling with the rover's arm. Other testing at JPL is evaluating possible driving techniques that might help reduce the rate of wheel punctures, such as driving backwards or using four-wheel drive instead of six-wheel drive. Some of the wheel damage may result from the force of rear wheels pushing middle or front wheels against sharp rocks, rather than simply the weight of the rover driving over the rocks. An analogy is when you are rolling your wheeled luggage over a curb, you can feel the difference between trying to push it over the curb or

Hi RubenNice findbut your link says you are not aware of another hammer stone artifact outside of a museum. I have a beauty in my collection that is featured on Svend's website...third one down on this pageused in prehistory at some point as a hammer and axe...nice shape and thumbprints too ;-). http://www.niger-meteorite-recon.de/en/Meteoritensammlung_20.htm Have a great time in Tucson...wish I could have made it this year.

Re: [meteorite-list] Add Ivory Coast Tektite
Hi All I stopped by Alain Carions room and he had recently purchased a lot of Ivory Coast tektites. Previously if you have ever seen one you would be very lucky. I have only ever seen 3 in 20 years of selling meteorites. The price would also reflect the rarity. It would probably be in the $1500-$2000 range. The provenance on these is impeccable. They were originally collected in a cotton field over a ten year period in the 1950's to 1960. They were purchased from the original finders grandson. He only brought 30 with him. He does have more but no telling how long they will last. I have a 5.38 g and a 4.03g. I will price them at only $200 per gram. So if you are interested in one let me know ASAP. I will add postage to each order. https://plus.google.com/photos/109538410126952617536/albums/5974929987539389457?authkey=CLT-6aLQ74_J8AE -- Mike -- Mike Jensen Meteorites 16730 E Ada PL Aurora, CO 80017-3137 USA 303-946-1495 IMCA 4264 website: www.jensenmeteorites.com __ 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
