[meteorite-list] First fragment of Chelyabinsk meteorite raised from bottom of, Lake Chebarkul
Hello Listers, Here another link not sure if this been posted, but it crazy how it did oxidize in the water. Now the question is home mush will it oxidize on the surface. I wonder if the state of this fragment will hold true for the mother load :) Only time will tell. It would be cool to own a sample from the bottom of the lake, once they bring it up to the surface :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633nyc/m.html http://meteoritefalls.com/ The Article Tiny Chelyabinsk Meteorite Fragment Found, Big to Be Lifted Soon Topic: Hail of Meteorite Fragments Hits Russia YEKATERINBURG, September 25 (RIA Novosti) – While removing silt in an effort to fish out a huge chunk of meteorite from the bottom of a lake in Russia’s Urals, divers recovered a smaller meteorite on Tuesday, scientists said. A meteorite, estimated to weigh about 10,000 metric tons, exploded over the Chelyabinsk Region in February. The biggest of chunks that the celestial body fragmented into ended up in the local Chebarkul Lake, and silt is now being pumped from the lakebed to recover it. According to scientists, the huge chunk, weighting hundreds of metric tons, is buried under a 2.5-meter (8.2-foot) layer of silt. Scientists expect to remove the silt around it on Wednesday evening. However, divers came across a smaller one on Monday evening, but were unable to recover it because of a huge amount of silt on the lakebed. The rock was eventually recovered early on Tuesday. “A meteorite chunk roughly the size of a human fist has been lifted from the depth of 13 meters [43 feet] in Lake Chebarkul,” the Urals Federal University said in a statement. Viktor Grokhovsky, the founder and longstanding leader of the university’s meteorite expedition, said he studied the images of the smaller meteorite and confirmed its space origin. source: http://en.ria.ru/russia/20130925/183707251/Tiny-Chelyabink-Meteorite-Fragment-Found-Big-to-Be-Lifted-Soon.html __ 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

Re: [meteorite-list] First fragment of Chelyabinsk meteorite raised from bottom of, Lake Chebarkul
Yes, I was in that University in March in Yekaterinburg and saw those pieces in person. I met with Dr. Gresheky (sp) and had a great tour of the amazing laboratory facilities and saw hundreds of Chelyabinsk specimens found just after the fall.

[meteorite-list] NASA Selects Early Stage Innovation Proposals from 10 Universities
September 25, 2013 David E. Steitz Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1730 david.ste...@nasa.gov RELEASE 13-295 NASA Selects Early Stage Innovation Proposals from 10 Universities NASA has selected 10 university-led proposals for study of innovative, early stage space technologies that address high priority technical needs America's space program must master to enable future missions. The one-year grants from NASA's Space Technology Research Grants Program are worth about $250,000 each, with an additional year of research possible. Selected proposals address technology challenges that may improve astrophysics scientific instruments, oxygen recovery for space life support systems, cryogenic propellant storage for long-duration space exploration, our identification, characterization and protection from near-Earth asteroids. "A critical element of America's space technology pipeline rests in the cutting edge research in the early stage technologies conducted at the nation's universities," said NASA's Associate Administrator for Space Technology, Michael Gazarik, in Washington. "Through this investment NASA will continue to benefit from university-led R and D." The selected technology research areas require dramatic improvements over existing capabilities for future science and human exploration missions. Early stage, or low technology readiness level, technologies could mature into tools that solve the difficult challenges facing future NASA missions. Universities selected for NASA's early stage innovation grants and the titles of their proposals are: - Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; "Detection, tracking, and identification of asteroids through on-board image analysis" - Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Mich.; "A new experiment for determining evaporation and condensation coefficients of cryogenic propellants and development of an efficient computational model of cryogenic film stability in microgravity" - Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.; "Broadband electrically tunable monolithic mid-infrared laser" - Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind.; "Innovations in understanding and modeling cryogenic propellants for long-duration spaceflight" - University of Arkansas, Fayetteville; "Asynchronous A/D converter for in situ instruments operating under extreme environments" - University of Colorado, Boulder; "Comprehensive modeling of the effects of hazardous asteroid mitigation techniques" - University of Florida, Gainesville; "Bio-inspired broadband antireflection coatings at long wavelengths for space applications" - University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; "Broad bandwidth metamaterial antireflection coatings for measurement of the cosmic microwave background" - University of South Carolina, Columbia; "Oxygen recovery via carbon dioxide electrolysis with microtubular solid oxide cells" - University of Utah, Salt Lake City; "A lightweight compact multi-spectral imager using novel computer-generated micro-optics and spectral-extraction algorithms" The selected efforts will explore new science instrument technologies to better understand the history, climates, evidence of past life and future potential habitability of planets and moons within our solar system. Researchers will investigate advances in optics technologies. These could enable the challenging science measurements that may contribute to the understanding of the first moments of the universe, the characterization of galaxy evolution over time and the characterization of newly found exoplanets, which are planets outside our solar system. Researchers also will explore technologies that are needed for future long duration human space exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, including improvements in the recovery of oxygen from carbon dioxide, as well as greatly increasing the capability to store and transfer cryogenic fluids in a zero gravity environment. In addition, researchers will develop technologies to better understand and protect our planet from near-Earth asteroids. Advancing early stage technologies will help with characterizing, understanding, and planning how to mitigate the threat of near-Earth asteroids. The selected areas address high-priority technical needs described in the agency's 14 Space Technology Roadmaps and reflect the National Research Council's review of these roadmaps. Second year funding for these grants will be contingent on technical progress and the availability of appropriated funds. NASA's Space Technology Research Grants Program is designed to accelerate the development of technologies originating from academia that support the future science and exploration needs of NASA, other government agencies and American industry. The program is part of NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, which is innovating, developing, testing, and flying technology for use in NASA's future missions and

[meteorite-list] Earth & Mars - Share Microbes On Meteorites - Or Interestingly Different For Life?
Hello Listers I am a Mars meteorite :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633nyc/m.html http://meteoritefalls.com/ Earth & Mars - Share Microbes On Meteorites - Or Interestingly Different For Life? By Robert Walker | September 24th 2013 11:35 AM Robert Zubrin says that there are no contamination issues involved in colonizing Mars, because microbes get transferred between the planets all the time on meteorites. His ideas get a lot of publicity, and so did a paper earlier this year "The overprotection of Mars". However there is another possibility, that life on Mars might be interestingly different from Earth life. So, how easy is it for a microbe to travel on a meteorite from Earth to Mars or in the other direction? Is this something that happens often, and can many species do this? Or is this something rare and unusual, that perhaps never happened at all? Much of this derives from the American National Research Council (NRC) study in 2009 which came to the opposite conclusion to Zubrin and this recent paper. Tons of meteorites from Mars We do receive many meteorites from Mars. You can tell by the small samples of Martian atmosphere trapped in the rocks, which to read more click here http://www.science20.com/robert_inventor/blog/earth_mars_share_microbes_meteorites_or_interestingly_different_life-121053 or delete. __ 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
