[meteorite-list] Airship Search at Sutter's Mill
Hi, List, Some of the questions about how the airship Eureka will be used to search for meteorites are answered in: http://www.space.com/1-meteorite-fireball-airship-search.html It seems they are looking for "impact craters" from this fresh fall of so-far very small fragments and they will be doing it from an altitude of 1,000 feet. The article says "the scientists spotted 12 possible impact features from the April 22 fall, though they're not sure yet if any of them are the real deal." So, they want to find the Big Rocks, each sitting in their crater nests, possibly surrounded by green Easter Egg grass. My scepticism may be misplaced. If they find 10-kilo CM's in impact pits that way, I'll have to eat my words, possibly served on a bed of green Easter Egg grass. Sterling K.

[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill Question… (Topographic Maps)
As given in “Sutter's Mill Question..” at: http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/meteorite-list/2012-May/084908.html Dennis Miller asked: “For my personal edification, what is the name of the USGA Quadrangle map you are using. I need to start another strewn field map, with itty bitty dots, so far. 1. freewu2000 at yahoo.com replied: “In Placerville I picked up 15 min topomaps named Coloma. Also Pilot Hill to the west for where the big one are speculated to be.” and 2. Dennis Miller replied: “Thanks for the map information. I did go to USGS and ordered Coloma and Pilot Hill topos. The Coloma (#328961) map is a 2012 aerial map.” For GIS-minded people, free georeferenced 1:24,000 scale topographic map mosaic for all of El Dorado County, California can be downloaded from the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service Geospatial Datagateway at http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ . For thedownloading the to the “Order by County/Counties” at: http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/GDGOrder.aspx . From the above link a person can get free 1. Digital Raster Graphic Topographic Map County Mosaic by the NRCS, 2. and 2. high-resolution aerial imagery for 2009 and 2010. Both of these are georeferenced. Finally, National Elevation Dataset, 3-meter resolution, is available for download. Individual georeferenced digital raster topographic maps are available for free from the Cal-Atlas geospatial clearinghouse at http://atlas.ca.gov/download.html and the Cal-Atlas: Imagery Download Tool at http://atlas.ca.gov/imagerySearch.html . For finding the topographic maps check /choose the DRG data layer in the "Download Tool" menu Coloma 1:24,000 topographic map is “DRG O Series o38120g8.” Pilot Hill 1:24,000 topographic map is “DRG O Series o38121g1.” There is a choice of either collared (untrimmed) or collarless (trimmed) DRGs (Digital Raster Graphics) for the topographic maps. I have loaded the individual DRGs for my field areas into the company Ipad and used available apps to keep track of my location as a blue dot on the DRG base I moved around doing fieldwork. The same can be done with many GPS units or other portable electronics.

Re: [meteorite-list] It's a zepplin, not a blimp!
I expected that kind of precise overview, Guido - thanks to the experienced pilot. What was new and surprising to me is the fact that the Zeppelin NT model (used for the Sutter's Mill hunt as well as for flying tourists over the Lake of Constance, quite close to me) has a fly-by-wire piloting. And I agree completely with you: I can't imagine a successful meteorite hunt via airship!

[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill Find Page - Updated and Summary
Since building a "find tally" page for this Sutter's Mill fall, I have been contacted by a wide range of people who are involved with the hunt for stones. Using this information, reports to this List, and media reports, I have assembled a running count of finds and an approximation of the TKW. This information is by no means definitive, but it does closely cross-check against Dr. Peter Jenniskens' official listing. It contains a few finds that are not listed on his official page that has coordinates for most of the finds. I don't know if this is because they have not been reported to him yet, or he has simply has not updated the official list yet. The list I have compiled is current as of this writing at approx. 3:30pm EST. Highlights - ->I would call this a ballpark figure - the TKW is : 240.32g This does not include reported finds without weights or finds that cannot be verified or cross-checked. ->There have been approx. 30 individual finds. There are of course likely to more than this. ->The current main mass is the Monroe 19.1g stone ->There is one confirmed hammer stone - The Matin stone (~12.5g) struck a garage. ->All of the stones are freshly-crusted and give the appearance expected of a carbonaceous chondrite of the CM, CI, or other similar type. Oriented stones with striking roll-over lips and textbook orientation features have been seen. Many of the stones broke during in-flight fragmentation or upon impact. ->The expected meteorwrongs have surfaced. Terrestrial nodules and asphalt slags have been reported and ruled out. ->The obligatory eBay "new Sutter's Mill Huge Meteorite" has been offered for a mere $700,000. Any takers?;) I am updating this page multiple times a day, so check it frequently for updates.

Re: [meteorite-list] It's a zepplin, not a blimp!
Stuart, List 1. A blimp (technically called a "pressure airship") is a powered, steerable, lighter-than-air vehicle whose shape is maintained by the pressure of the gases within its envelope. A blimp has no rigid internal structure; if a blimp deflates, it loses its shape. 2. A rigid airship has a framework surrounding one or more individual gas cells, and maintains its shape by virtue of its rigid framework and not the pressure of its lifting gas. 3. A zeppelin is a rigid airship manufactured by a particular company, the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin of Germany (the "Zeppelin Airship Construction Company"), which was founded by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. 4. A semi-rigid airship, like a blimp, maintains its aerodynamic shape from internal gas pressure, but it has a partial rigid frame, usually in the form of a keel, which supports and distributes loads and provides structural integrity during maneuvering. The modern Zeppelin NT, such as the Eureka, is a semi-rigid airship rather than a blimp. 5. A dirigible is any lighter-than-air craft that is both powered and steerable (as opposed to free floating, like a balloon). Blimps, rigid airships, and semi-rigid airships like the Zeppelin NT are all dirigibles. Sterling K. Webb -- - Original Message - From: To: ; "dorifry" ; "Sterling K.

Re: [meteorite-list] It's a zepplin, not a blimp!
Yes Phil you are indeed correct. A blimp describes people with a lot of excess weight like Rush Limbaugh, witch can't get off the ground. Where as a dirigible weighs much more less, even with passengers. You have used common sense in catching this error. Richard Lipke - Original Message - > Big difference!

The fact that it's a Zepplin is what makes it so unusual. It's one of only two zeps in the world and the only one operating in the Americas.

With the improvement in solar insolation and the recent modest dust cleaning events on the solar arrays, the project has determined that the rover has sufficient energy resources to begin moving again on level terrain. Therefore, Opportunity will soon be backing down off her winter perch and resume driving on the near-level terrain around the north end of Cape York. Radio Doppler tracking passes for the geo-dynamic investigation are continuing for now with passes performed on Sols 2935, 2936, 2937 and 2940 (April 26, 27, 28 and May 1, 2012). The project is also finishing the campaign of Microscopic Imager mosaics and Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer measurements of the extended region around the surface rock target "Amboy." These measurements were performed on Sols 2935, 2937 and 2940 (April 26, 28 and May 1, 2012). An extended thermal behavior test of the inertial measurement unit on the rover was performed on Sol 2938 (April 29, 2012), and found to be in good order. As of Sol 2940 (May 1, 2012), solar array energy production was 365 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.480 and an improved solar array dust factor of 0.534. Total odometry is unchanged at 21.35 miles (34,361.37 meters). __ 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

[meteorite-list] Paydirt at 8-Year-Old Mars Rover's 'New Landing Site'
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-124 Paydirt at 8-Year-Old Mars Rover's 'New Landing Site' Jet Propulsion Laboratory May 03, 2012 A report in the May 4 edition of the journal Science details discoveries Opportunity made in its first four months at the rim of Endeavour Crater, including key findings reported at a geophysics conference in late 2011. Opportunity completed its original three-month mission on Mars eight years ago. It reached Endeavour last summer, three years after the rover's science team chose Endeavour as a long-term destination. This crater is about 4 billion years old and 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. The impact that excavated the crater left a jumble of fused-together rock fragments around the rim. In a chunk brought to the surface by a later, much smaller impact into the rim, Opportunity found evidence that the original impact released heated, underground water that deposited zinc in that rock. Later after the impact, cool water flowed through cracks in the ground near the edge of the crater and deposited veins of the mineral gypsum. "These bright mineral veins are different from anything seen previously on Mars, and they tell a clear story of water flowing through cracks in the rocks," said Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. He is the principal investigator for Opportunity and lead author of the new report by 27 researchers. "From landing until just before reaching the Endeavour rim, Opportunity was driving over sandstone made of sulfate grains that had been deposited by water and later blown around by the wind. These gypsum veins tell us about water that flowed through the rocks at this exact spot. It's the strongest evidence for water that we've ever seen with Opportunity." For the past four months, the solar-powered rover has been working at one outcrop on the Endeavour rim, called Greeley Haven. Reduced daylight during the Martian winter, and accumulated dust on the rover's solar array, have kept energy too low for driving. "The days are now growing longer, and the sun is moving higher in the sky at Endeavour Crater. We expect Opportunity to resume driving in the next two months and continue exploring other parts of the crater's rim," said Mars Exploration Rover Project Manager John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Researchers hope to get Opportunity to one of the deposits of clay minerals that have been detected in Endeavour's rim by observations from orbit. These minerals could be evidence of a non-acidic wet phase of the region's environmental history. "Exploring Endeavour Crater is like having a new landing site," said JPL's Timothy Parker, a co-author of the new report. "That's not just because of the difference in the geology here compared to what we saw during most of the first eight years, but also because there's a whole vista before us inviting much more exploration." Opportunity and its rover twin, Spirit, completed their three-month prime missions on Mars in April 2004. Both rovers continued for years of bonus, extended missions. Both have made important discoveries about wet environments on ancient Mars that may have been favorable for supporting microbial life. Spirit stopped communicating in 2010. NASA launched the next-generation Mars rover, car-size Curiosity of the Mars Science Laboratory mission, on Nov. 26 for arrival at Mars' Gale Crater in August 2012. Landing successfully is quite a challenge, and the Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity mission pioneers a new landing method to enable use of a heavier rover. Curiosity is about twice as long and more than five times as heavy as any previous Mars rover. Its size and mass accommodate a science payload designed to study whether the landing region has had environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life, including chemical ingredients for life. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Exploration Rover Project and Mars Science Laboratory Project for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite main mass hunting with a blimp
Historically the tall grass in our foothills turns completely brown by mid-May, just in time for all the fox-tails and rattlesnakeschap time. It doesn't take long after the first October (sometimes September) rains to knock the tall brown grasses down...then there is about a month or two before the new green begins to blush-up (gold-detectors also know this time-zone as 'detecting-season'). Granted, the grass is tall, but it'll be easier to see through when dry. The biggest trouble will be matting-down, as it will begin to lay horizontal. Good fortune to whoever's still up here. I hope to run into anyone who is. Richard Montgomery - Original Message - From: "Michael Farmer" To: "Matson, Robert D."

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite main mass hunting with a blimp
indeed, had a great dinner with some of the NASA people, it all makes sense and is on the up and up. blimp company offered their services free of charge and are now on the cover of many newspapers, not bad marketing, and NASA gets long slow flyover of the strewn field searching for clear areas and photographing terrain to hunt in as google earth is very out of date in this area. win win for all.

Professor Phil Bland, who runs the fireball camera network throughout the Nullarbor, here in Australia, mentioned to me last year that they have a UAV to aid in their searches. I don't know if it has proven successful yet or not, but I'd imagine if it was both slow and low flying, it could be useful in exploring ground that is either too distant or too difficult to search by foot. __ 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
