[meteorite-list] Does the Jbilet Winselwan meteorite have amino acids?

[Tim Heitz via Meteorite-list]

Hello List,

Does the  Jbilet Winselwan meteorite have amino acids?


I'm very surprised someone doesn't have an answer, in time I guess there 
will be an answer.


I want to thank those that have e-mailed me and shared their thoughts 
with me.



Thanks,
Tim Heitz

Hello,

Does the Jbilet Winselwan (CM2) Meteorite contain amino acids like 
that of Murchison (CM2)?


It's been awhile since I have studied meteorites, is Murchison still 
the only meteorite to contain  amino acids?


Last time I checked 93 amino acids had been found in the Murchison 
meteorite.


Thanks,
Tim Heitz

[meteorite-list] Pioneering Philae Completes Main Misson Before Hibernation

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Pioneering_Philae_completes_main_mission_before_hibernation
   
 
Pioneering Philae completes main mission before hibernation
European Space Agency
15 November 2014

Rosetta's lander has completed its primary science mission after
nearly 57 hours on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

After being out of communication visibility with the lander since
09:58 GMT / 10:58 CET on Friday, Rosetta regained contact with
Philae at 22:19 GMT /23:19 CET last night. The signal was
initially intermittent, but quickly stabilised and remained very
good until 00:36 GMT / 01:36 CET this morning. 

In that time, the lander returned all of its housekeeping data, as
well as science data from the targeted instruments, including
ROLIS, COSAC, Ptolemy, SD2 and CONSERT. This completed the
measurements planned for the final block of experiments on the
surface.



First comet panoramic

In addition, the lander's body was lifted by about 4 cm and
rotated about 35 degrees in an attempt to receive more solar energy. But
as the last science data fed back to Earth, Philae's power rapidly
depleted.

"It has been a huge success, the whole team is delighted,' said
Stephan Ulamec, lander manager at the DLR German Aerospace Agency,
who monitored Philae's progress from ESA's Space Operations Centre
in Darmstadt, Germany, this week.

"Despite the unplanned series of three touchdowns, all of our
instruments could be operated and now it's time to see what we've
got."

Against the odds - with no downwards thruster and with the
automated harpoon system not having worked - Philae bounced twice
after its first touchdown on the comet, coming to rest in the
shadow of a cliff on Wednesday 12 November at 17:32 GMT (comet
time - it takes over 28 minutes for the signal to reach Earth, via
Rosetta).

The search for Philae's final landing site continues, with
high-resolution images from the orbiter being closely scrutinised.
Meanwhile, the lander has returned unprecedented images of its
surroundings.

While descent images show that the surface of the comet is covered
by dust and debris ranging from millimetre to metre sizes,
panoramic images show layered walls of harder-looking material. 
The science teams are now studying their data to see if they have
sampled any of this material with Philae's drill

"We still hope that at a later stage of the mission, perhaps when
we are nearer to the Sun, that we might have enough solar
illumination to wake up the lander and re-establish communication,"
added Stephan.

>From now on, no contact will be possible unless sufficient
sunlight falls on the solar panels to generate enough power to
wake it up. The possibility that this may happen later in the
mission was boosted when mission controllers sent commands to
rotate the lander's main body with its fixed solar panels. This
should have exposed more panel area to sunlight.

The next possible communication slot begins on 15 November at
about 10:00 GMT / 11:00 CET. The orbiter will listen for a signal,
and will continue doing so each time its orbit brings it into
line-of-sight visibility with Philae. However, given the low
recharge current coming from the solar panels at this time, it is
unlikely that contact will be re-established with the lander in
the near future.

Meanwhile, the Rosetta orbiter has been moving back into a 30 km
orbit around the comet.

It will return to a 20 km orbit on 6 December and continue its
mission to study the body in great detail as the comet becomes
more active, en route to its closest encounter with the Sun on 13
August next year.  

Over the coming months, Rosetta will start to fly in more distant
"unbound' orbits, while performing a series of daring flybys past
the comet, some within just 8 km of its centre.

Data collected by the orbiter will allow scientists to watch the
short- and long-term changes that take place on the comet, helping
to answer some of the biggest and most important questions
regarding the history of our Solar System. How did it form and
evolve?  How do comets work? What role did comets play in the
evolution of the planets, of water on the Earth, and perhaps even
of life on our home world.

"The data collected by Philae and Rosetta is set to make this
mission a game-changer in cometary science," says Matt Taylor,
ESA's Rosetta project scientist.

Fred Jansen, ESA's Rosetta mission manager, says, "At the end of
this amazing rollercoaster week, we look back on a successful
first-ever soft-landing on a comet. This was a truly historic
moment for ESA and its partners. We now look forward to many more
months of exciting Rosetta science and possibly a return of Philae
from hibernation at some point in time."

[meteorite-list] NASA Opens Registration for 2015 Exploration Rover Challenge

[Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list]

November 14, 2014
 
NASA Opens Registration for 2015 Exploration Rover Challenge

"ASA has opened team registration for the 2015 NASA Human Exploration Rover 
Challenge. Organized by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, 
Alabama, the event will be held April 16-18, 2015, at the U.S. Space & Rocket 
Center, also in Huntsville.

The challenge engages high school, college and university students in 
hands-on, experiential learning activities, while also testing potential 
technologies needed for future deep space exploration. Both U.S. and 
international teams may register to participate. For U.S. teams, registration 
closes Feb. 6, 2015. Registration for international teams closes Jan. 9, 
2015.

Student teams participating in the Rover Challenge must design, engineer and 
test a human-powered rover on a mock course designed to simulate the harsh 
and demanding terrains future NASA explorers may find on distant planets, 
moons and asteroids.

"Throughout the months-long process, students gain meaningful experience and 
valuable feedback, while receiving encouragement to pursue technical careers 
in science, technology, engineering and mathematics," said Diedra Williams, 
an education specialist in Marshall's Academic Affairs Office. "Students 
must use their educational background to apply practical designs and solve 
engineering problems similar to those encountered by NASA mission teams."

Registration questions may be directed to Diedra Williams at 256-544-5721 or 
diedra.a.willi...@nasa.gov (U.S. teams) and Amy McDowell at 256-544-8411 
or amy.mcdow...@nasa.gov (international teams).

The Human Exploration Rover Challenge encourages research and development in 
new technologies and engages students in real-world engineering and 
problem-solving concepts that may be needed on future exploration missions. 
Through innovative challenges such as this, NASA continues to demonstrate its 
commitment to inspiring new generations of scientists, engineers and 
astronauts.

registration, visit:

[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill - Any upcoming classification clarification?

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

Hi List,

Many papers have been written about Sutter's Mill and specimens have
been studied at various institutions for over two years.  The initial
and relatively-fast official classification was "C", which the
bulletin states is a "carbonaceous chondrite".  The only other
meteorites classified as such in the bulletin are Japanese Antarctics
(Yamato 793277,793581) and Yamatos 86767, 86770, 86771, 86772, 86773).
Many people and collectors assumed this was a defacto temporary
classification until more data was available to rule in/out other
types and subtypes.

Question : has any of the subsequent research on Sutter's Mill
provided any evidence about what exact type of carbonaceous chondrite
it is?   (CM, C-UNG, or ?)

Best regards,

MikeG

[meteorite-list] Meteorites with amino acids?

[Tim Heitz via Meteorite-list]

Hello,

Does the Jbilet Winselwan (CM2) Meteorite contain amino acids like that 
of Murchison (CM2)?


It's been awhile since I have studied meteorites, is Murchison still the 
only meteorite to contain  amino acids?


Last time I checked 93 amino acids had been found in the Murchison 
meteorite.


Thanks,
