[meteorite-list] Currently used classification scheme - Divisions
Hello Jim and Listers While we are on the topic of meteorite classification here is some historical information about classification of meteorites. De Drée, 1803: The First Meteorite Classification De Drée took a great interest in meteorites and immediately began to work out a classification of them based chiefly on their materials, as reported by Howard and Vauquelin, and the circumstances of their falls. He distinguished the following four classes (de Drée 1803b:410): Class I: Stones consisting of similar materials that fell in serene weather without thunderstorms: Salles, Ensisheim, Barbotan, Benares, Wold Cottage. Class II: Stones of the same materials as class I but which fell from enflamed clouds with lightning flashes with or without detonations: Siena, Tabor. Class III: Masses mainly of malleable iron, of which the only observed fall occurred at Agram in Croatia after a fireball and an explosion followed by rumbling sounds. Class IV: All masses for which the circumstances of fall are not verified and their compositions fall outside those of the first three classes or are uncertain: his list of about 20 included the irons found in Siberia, Argentina, and Senegal; stones from observed falls including Lucé, Eichstädt, and Portugal, and about a dozen historical accounts taken mainly from Chladni. De Drée’s attempt illustrates the importance given at that early time to the circumstances of falls as though they might have genetic significance. It also shows the immensity of the labors that lay ahead in efforts to understand meteorites and construct meaningful classifications of them.

It is my understanding that there are currently 3 divisions that all meteorites fall underor at least at one time there were three. Chondrites, Primitive Achondrites and Achondrites. 1. Referencing Weisberg et al: Systematics and Evaluation of Meteorite Classification, has there been any divisions added since this document was printed? Are there still only 3 divisions? 2. Is there a more up to date schema or diagram which supersedes the document above? I know there are changes in the IAB complex groups and grouplets, referencing a document by Wasson accepted in 2002, are there other changes? Thank you for any info on this.

[meteorite-list] European Cargo Ship Departs International Space Station for Earth Reentry
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1106/20atvundocking/ European cargo ship departs International Space Station BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW June 20, 2011 After delivering more than 5,000 pounds of cargo, fuel and oxygen, a European automated resupply freighter undocked from the International Space Station on Monday and headed for a destructive plunge back into the atmosphere. The Automated Transfer Vehicle, christened Johannes Kepler after the German astronomer and mathematician, separated from the complex at 1446 GMT (10:46 a.m. EDT). One minute later, after backing away from the station's Zvezda service module, the ATV fired thrusters to accelerate its departure. The ship is carrying more than 2,600 pounds of trash for the re-entry. Almost all the spacecraft will burn up in the atmosphere, but the hardiest components could survive to impact the Pacific Ocean. Two engine burns are on tap Tuesday to lower the craft's orbit. The ATV will dive back into the atmosphere at 2024 GMT (4:24 p.m. EDT) and its remnants will reach the surface about 2059 GMT (4:59 p.m. EDT), according to the European Space Agency. A data recorder strapped to the spacecraft will record the ATV's final moments, capturing information on temperatures, accelerations and tumble rates as the ship breaks apart in the atmosphere. Designed and built by the Aerospace Corp., the Re-entry Breakup Recorder, or REBR, is protected inside its own heat shield to survive the scorching environment. It will transmit the data via satellite back to engineers in the United States before hitting the ocean and sinking. Officials believe data collected by the REBR device will yield insights into how spacecraft end their lives during re-entry. A similar unit was stored inside a Japanese cargo freighter on its trip back into the atmosphere in March. The ATV's last duty before leaving the space station was boosting the lab's orbit by 35 kilometers, or about 22 miles. The spacecraft fired its thrusters over three days between June 12 and June 17 to raise the station's orbit. The complex is now circling the planet at an average altitude of 237 miles, higher than the space station has ever flown before. The reboosts were conceived to place the lab higher above the drag effects of Earth's atmosphere. Although the atmosphere at the station's orbit is almost non-existent, there is enough air resistance to gradually slow the lab's velocity and cause it to drop altitude. After the reboosts, engineers say the station will need fewer correction maneuveers to maintain its orbit, so future cargo vehicles could deliver more experiments and spare parts instead of refueling propellant. The space station flew at a lower altitude during construction to allow visiting space shuttles to deliver more gear and heavier modules to the outpost. With the shuttle's retirement looming, there's no longer a need to keep the station's orbit lower. The higher orbit will cut the station's annual fuel usage nearly in half, according to ESA. The Johannes Kepler spacecraft launched Feb. 16 and reached the space station Feb. 24. It stayed docked to the lab for 116 days. Built by EADS Astrium, the ATV measures 32 feet long and nearly 15 feet wide. Its four solar array wings stretch more than 70 feet across. Four main engines and 20 smaller thrusters guide spacecraft in orbit. The Johannes Kepler mission, the ATV's second flight, hauled about 3,500 pounds of dry cargo in its pressurized cabin. Astronauts manually unloaded that equipment during the craft's stay. The spacecraft also carried refueling propellant and oxygen to replenish the station's tanks. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Currently used classification scheme - Divisions
Thank you for this, Shawn. My references were from the work Rose did in the 1860's and forward. I think the current schema follows this somewhat as Weisberg points out. I think maybe not enough is known to classify at the higher division levels, thus the disagreements and the lack of unity at these levels and unwillingness to change??? It appears at lower levels, documents all around tend to speak the same language and have commonality. In part of my working life, commonality and correct terminology could have meant the difference between life and death in a matter of a few secondswhich has made me very critical when I do not see it. Classification must remain fluid and not get stuck on the journey. The work on the IAB-complex meteorites, it's groups and grouplets, etc., for example, need to be represented in new systematic diagrams that I have yet to see in any documentation, not that I've read them all, I am sure. I'd sure love to see one I could hang on my wall! I find this sort of diagram a value added asset while I study meteorites. I hope Dawn is the being of a new era in classification. And it is becoming to be very exciting to watch what happens as Dawn approaches! Simply awesome. Wouldn't it be nice to land, drill and retrieve a deep core sample!

Re: [meteorite-list] Currently used classification scheme - Divisions
Hi Jim, Shawn, all We had last Saturday in Ensisheim (meteorite show) a nice talk about the Dawn mission. It was entitled: "Vesta,Vestoids and HEDS: Waiting for Dawn." It dealt with various issues, among which relationships between HED's and Vesta, but also (and mainly) other Vestoids. Perhaps you may want to contact our speaker, Vishnu Reddy (PhD & research faculty at the Department of Space Studies, University of North Dakota, presently member of the Dawn Framing Camera team at the Max-Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany). His research interests include compositional study of asteroids and asteroid-meteorite links, and, in particular, studying the composition of the surface of Vesta. Vishnu is the (very kind end expertized) person who might want to tell you more. I can provide his direct mail contact on request, off list. For general info on the Dawn mission and Vishnu's involvements, click here and follow the links: http://www.dawn.mps.mpg.de/index.php?id=21&L=1 Kind regards, Zelimir Jim Wooddell a écrit : Thank you for this, Shawn.

Re: [meteorite-list] Building Inspired by Meteorites
The light capturing alignment of buildings is even older than that. Newgrange springs to mind as an obvious neolithic example (winter solstice) http://www.ancient-wisdom.co.uk/irelandnewgrange.htm There's also the star shafts in the great pyramid, and the stair serpent at Chichen Itza (spring equinox). There's a lot more besides. John On 21/06/2011 12:52, "Matthias Bärmann" wrote: > >That's pretty cool indeed, Jan. Is the Campo already there?

Re: [meteorite-list] Building Inspired by Meteorites
Well I was invited on the grand opening today but unfortunatly couldn't make it. The Campo is there indeed but I can't really say where they placed it. Funny thing is they called me last week for advise.. They wanted the Campo shine like silver when the sunbeams would hit it and asked me how to make it look like as shiny as possible. Of course I strongly advised them to keep it as natural as possibledoubt it if they did :-) I'm going to visit them shortly and hopefully they didn't torture the poor thing too much...

Great pics, Mirko! Judging from the photos, it was the perfect time to be in France. How was the market? Did you notice a change in customer volume? In vendors? Prices? Bulk of NWA's?

Re: [meteorite-list] Photos Enisisheim 2011 Meteorite Show - France
Hi Pete and List Let me answer You and share some of my "behind the table" observations. I missed friday becouse of some serious car problems and arrive to Ensisheim at 10PM what never happend before. I feel, that I sold less than last year but I sold more what was for me a little surprize. In fact the whole show looks slow Some tables was empty, some dealers missing. Not many spectacular news on tables. Except Greg's achondrite that was very exciting meteorite and very beautifull and my new hammer stone Soltmany. But in fact I have no time to see every dark place in Palace so maybe I missed something. Moroccans have more earth stones on tables than Regency Palace have in walls. I personally save two of my friends from buying interesting looking rocks for some hundreds of euro. One of the optimistic information I can mention is a perfect weather this year. Sunny but not hot. I cant wait for Munich 2011 where I have more time to look for stones and speak with friends. MC Hammer :D Great pics, Mirko! Judging from the photos, it was the perfect time to be in France.

[meteorite-list] Radar for Mars Gets Flight Tests at NASA Dryden (MSL)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-188 Radar for Mars Gets Flight Tests at NASA Dryden Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 21, 2011 Southern California's high desert has been a stand-in for Mars for NASA technology testing many times over the years. And so it is again, in a series of flights by an F/A-18 aircraft to test the landing radar for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission. The flight profile is designed to have the F/A-18 climb to 40,000 feet (about 12,000 meters). From there, it makes a series of subsonic, stair-step dives at angles of 40 to 90 degrees to simulate what the Mars radar will see while the spacecraft is on a parachute descending through the Martian atmosphere. The F/A-18 pulls out of each dive at 5,000 feet (about 1,500 meters. Data collected by these flights will be used to finesse the Mars landing radar software, to help ensure that it is calibrated as accurately as possible. The testing is a collaboration of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Earlier tests, with a helicopter carrying the test radar, simulated the lower-altitude portion of the spacecraft's descent to the surface of Mars. For more information about the F/A-18 tests, see http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/F-18_flying_msl_radar.html . The Mars Science Laboratory mission's rover, named Curiosity, will be shipped this month from JPL to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to be readied for launch between Nov. 25 and Dec. 18, 2011. The spacecraft will arrive at Mars in August 2012. After Curiosity lands on Mars, researchers will use the rover's 10 science instruments during the following two years to investigate whether the landing area has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

[meteorite-list] NASA Details Achievements Of Lunar Spacecraft (LRO)
June 21, 2011 J.D. Harrington/Michael Braukus Headquarters, Washington 202-358-5241/1979 j.d.harring...@nasa.gov/michael.brau...@nasa.gov Nancy Neal Jones/Elizabeth Zubritsky Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. 301-286-0039/301-614-5438 nancy.n.jo...@nasa.gov/elizabeth.a.zubrit...@nasa.gov RELEASE: 11-192 NASA DETAILS ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUNAR SPACECRAFT WASHINGTON -- NASA has declared full mission success for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). LRO changed our view of the entire moon and brought it into sharper focus with unprecedented detail. NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) operated the LRO spacecraft and its instruments during the one-year mission phase. Now that the final data from the instruments have been added to the agency's Planetary Data System, the mission has completed the full success requirements. The data system, which is publicly available, archives data from past and present planetary missions as well as astronomical observations and laboratory data. The rich new portrait rendered by LRO's seven instruments is the result of more than 192 terabytes of data, images and maps, the equivalent of nearly 41,000 typical DVDs. "LRO is now in the very capable hands of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, with ongoing, near continuous acquisition of science data," said Douglas Cooke, associate administrator of ESMD at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Exploration will be well served by the LRO science mission, just as the LRO exploration mission has benefited lunar science." The primary objective of the mission was to enable safe and effective exploration of the moon. "We needed to leverage the very best the science community had to offer," said Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist of ESMD. "And by doing that, we've fundamentally changed our scientific understanding of the moon." The most precise and complete topographic maps to date of the moon's complex, heavily cratered landscape have been created from more than four billion measurements, which are still coming in, taken by LRO's Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA). LOLA has taken more than 100 times more measurements than all previous lunar instruments of its kind combined, opening up a world of possibilities for future exploration and for science. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) revealed stunning details after imaging nearly 5.7 million square kilometers of the moon's surface during the mission's exploration phase. That is roughly the same amount of land as all contiguous states west of the Mississippi River. Though earlier missions also imaged the moon, what sets LROC apart is its ability to image with surface pixels that are only 1.5 feet in size, small enough to distinguish details never before possible. "With this resolution, LRO could easily spot a picnic table on the moon," said LRO's Project Scientist Richard Vondrak of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. While studying the Hermite crater near the moon's north pole, LRO's Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment found the coldest spot in the solar system, with a temperature of minus 415 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 248 degrees Celsius or 25 kelvins). To further explore these regions, LRO's Lyman Alpha Mapping Project, which can "see" in the dark, is imaging the shaded areas, while LOLA's precise measurements map solar illumination. This work has provided new insight into the shadowed regions and also revealed areas that receive nearly continuous sun. Because sunlight itself is a resource on the moon, knowing there are areas that get sun for approximately 243 days a year and never have a period of total darkness for more than 24 hours is extremely valuable. Complementing those efforts are both the Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) and the Miniature Radio Frequency advanced radar, which are searching for deposits of water ice. LEND also seeks hydrogen, which could be used potentially as fuel. LRO's Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation is studying the lunar radiation environment, which is important to keep astronauts healthy and safe. LRO launched aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on June 18, 2009. The spacecraft was built and is managed by Goddard.
