[meteorite-list] NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Nears Turning Point
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2013-187 NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover Nears Turning Point Jet Propulsion Laboratory June 05, 2013 Mars Science Laboratory Mission Status Report PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission is approaching its biggest turning point since landing its rover, Curiosity, inside Mars' Gale Crater last summer. Curiosity is finishing investigations in an area smaller than a football field where it has been working for six months, and it will soon shift to a distance-driving mode headed for an area about 5 miles (8 kilometers) away, at the base Mount Sharp. In May, the mission drilled a second rock target for sample material and delivered portions of that rock powder into laboratory instruments in one week, about one-fourth as much time as needed at the first drilled rock. "We're hitting full stride," said Mars Science Laboratory Project Manager Jim Erickson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We needed a more deliberate pace for all the first-time activities by Curiosity since landing, but we won't have many more of those." No additional rock drilling or soil scooping is planned in the "Glenelg" area that Curiosity entered last fall as the mission's first destination after landing. To reach Glenelg, the rover drove east about a third of a mile (500 meters) from the landing site. To reach the next destination, Mount Sharp, Curiosity will drive toward the southwest for many months. "We don't know when we'll get to Mount Sharp," Erickson said. "This truly is a mission of exploration, so just because our end goal is Mount Sharp doesn't mean we're not going to investigate interesting features along the way." Images of Mount Sharp taken from orbit and images Curiosity has taken from a distance reveal many layers where scientists anticipate finding evidence about how the ancient Martian environment changed and evolved. While completing major first-time activities since landing, the mission has also already accomplished its main science objective. Analysis of rock powder from the first drilled rock target, "John Klein," provided evidence that an ancient environment in Gale Crater had favorable conditions for microbial life: the essential elemental ingredients, energy and ponded water that was neither too acidic nor too briny. The rover team chose a similar rock, "Cumberland," as the second drilling target to provide a check for the findings at John Klein. Scientists are analyzing laboratory-instrument results from portions of the Cumberland sample. One new capability being used is to drive away while still holding rock powder in Curiosity's sample-handling device to supply additional material to instruments later if desired by the science team. For the drill campaign at Cumberland, steps that each took a day or more at John Klein could be combined into a single day's sequence of commands. "We used the experience and lessons from our first drilling campaign, as well as new cached sample capabilities, to do the second drill campaign far more efficiently," said sampling activity lead Joe Melko of JPL. "In addition, we increased use of the rover's autonomous self-protection. This allowed more activities to be strung together before the ground team had to check in on the rover." The science team has chosen three targets for brief observations before Curiosity leaves the Glenelg area: the boundary between bedrock areas of mudstone and sandstone, a layered outcrop called "Shaler" and a pitted outcrop called "Point Lake." JPL's Joy Crisp, deputy project scientist for Curiosity, said "Shaler might be a river deposit. Point Lake might be volcanic or sedimentary. A closer look at them could give us better understanding of how the rocks we sampled with the drill fit into the history of how the environment changed." JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Article in Forbes
Dear List Members, There is a great article on Naveen Jain in Forbes about his fantastic meteorite collection. I am particularly proud of the complete slice of NWA 5000 dubbed the "The Ambassador" which is now part of his collection. It is in great hands since he is one of the co-founders of Moon Express. You can see an image of it in the article. I do not know if the hyperlink will work in plain text mode but I copied the long URL for those who may be interested. You can copy and past into your browser if necessary.

Re: [meteorite-list] Hancock and the HSIE
Hi Paul - If someone like Hancock finally understands that a comet hit North America 13,000 years ago, you would think that other more "coherent" individuals would be able to as well.

Re: [meteorite-list] Bondoc / Estherville / Murchison
It happens to the best of us. Thanks for the refund and I'll return the piece in France in two weeks. We have all been burned before. What is important is to recognize and remove these fraud pieces from the market and let it be a warning to those who try and pull these frauds that fakes will be identified. I hope you can claim your money back as well from your purchase. Thanks Andreas for you honesty, Integrity and rapid response to me.

[meteorite-list] Bondoc / Estherville / Murchison
I try to post this since Sunday, thanks Art for letting this mail through. Hi List, first let me tell how we get this pieces. It was an e bay auction at the German e bay from an Hungarian seller. The pieces arrived at my home in a parcel with the pictured specimen cards. The same day I made pictures from the stones and we offered it at the German forum and here on the List of course we mentioned the origin and the specimen cards. The Next day I was told some one said on face book the specimen cards are different because of a comma instead of a dot at the numbers. . I said Oh perhaps they did them for the European marked and for got about it. The same day in the afternoon I was told by Martin, there are some people who think the Murchison is not Murchison. I said oh perhaps it's because of the poor polish I will rework it. Today I polished and etched the Bondoc from that delivery. and yes Jason you are right its slag. So Mike you are probably right, the Estherville is also slag and all the ones who said the Murchison is not a Murchison are also right. We have been scammed. I apologies for not identifying the labels as not original. I apologies for not identifying the pieces as scam and for not getting the idea the pieces could be scam after I new about the different labels. Martin never had the specimens or labels in his hand of course we asked the Hungarian seller before we purchased the specimen where they are from an if he has more . He told us he has purchased a Meteorite collection some years ago but would like to keep the irons. So at this time we don't know if the Hungarian seller scammed us or if the scams are for longer time part of a Collection.
