[meteorite-list] Chinese Rocket Body Disintegrates over North America
In case they are any fireball sightings Space Weather News for Feb. 24, 2015 http://spaceweather.com Last night, Feb. 23-24, observers across the western half of North America witnessed a spectacular cluster of bright lights in the sky. It was the re-entry and disintegration of a Chinese rocket body. Coincidentally, a geomagnetic storm was in progress at the time and more than one photographer caught the rocket's debris cutting across curtains of Northern Lights.

Re: [meteorite-list] Chinese Rocket Body Disintegrates over North America
Hi Ron/All, As with Cosmos 2495 last year, I spent several hours this morning pulling Doppler data from a dozen radars within range of last night's reentry. Unlike bolides of late, reentries have been showing up great on radar, and this one was no exception. I don't know if the CZ-4B rocket body is large enough to generate debris that survives to the ground, but if so there are two long clusters of candidates in western Montana. I'll be forwarding my composite image to Spaceweather.com in case they want to post it there. --Rob -Original Message- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Ron Baalke via Meteorite-list Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2015 11:34 AM To: Meteorite Mailing List Subject: [meteorite-list] Chinese Rocket Body Disintegrates over North America In case they are any fireball sightings Space Weather News for Feb. 24, 2015 http://spaceweather.com Last night, Feb. 23-24, observers across the western half of North America witnessed a spectacular cluster of bright lights in the sky.

[meteorite-list] NASA Briefing to Discuss First Spacecraft Arrival at a Dwarf Planet
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4488 NASA Briefing to Discuss First Spacecraft Arrival at a Dwarf Planet Jet Propulsion Laboratory February 24, 2015 NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory will host a briefing at 9 a.m. PST (noon EST) Monday, March 2, to discuss the March 6 arrival of the agency's Dawn spacecraft at the dwarf planet Ceres. The news briefing, held at JPL's von Karman Auditorium at 4800 Oak Grove Dr., Pasadena, California, will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency's website. Ceres, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is the largest unexplored world of the inner solar system. Dawn will not only be the first spacecraft to reach a dwarf planet, it will be the first spacecraft ever to orbit two different worlds in deep space. Dawn was the first spacecraft to orbit a body in the main asteroid belt when it explored the giant asteroid Vesta from 2011 to 2012. Participants in the news conference will be: -- Jim Green, director, Planetary Science Division, NASA Headquarters, Washington -- Robert Mase, Dawn project manager, JPL -- Carol Raymond, Dawn deputy principal investigator, JPL For NASA TV streaming video, scheduling and downlink information, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv The briefing will also be streamed live on Ustream at: http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2 For information about NASA's Dawn mission, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/dawn Media Contact Elizabeth Landau Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. 818-354-6425 elizabeth.lan...@jpl.nasa.gov Dwayne Brown NASA Headquarters, Washington 202-358-1726 dwayne.c.br...@nasa.gov 2015-065 __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Latest Selfie from NASA Mars Rover Shows Wide Context
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=4489 Latest Selfie from NASA Mars Rover Shows Wide Context Jet Propulsion Laboratory February 24, 2015 -- The latest self-portrait covers the key "Pahrump Hills" sites -- Taken beside January's "Mojave" drilling site, the image also shows the mission's next planned drilling site A sweeping view of the "Pahrump Hills" outcrop on Mars, where NASA's Curiosity rover has been working for five months, surrounds the rover in Curiosity's latest self-portrait. The selfie scene is assembled from dozens of images taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on the rover's robotic arm. Pahrump Hills is an outcrop of the bedrock that forms the basal layer of Mount Sharp, at the center of Mars' Gale Crater. The mission has examined the outcrop with a campaign that included a "walkabout" survey and then increasingly detailed levels of inspection. The rover climbed from the outcrop's base to higher sections three times to create vertical profiles of the rock structures and chemistry, and to select the best targets for sample-collection drilling. The component images for this self-portrait were taken in late January, while Curiosity was at a drilling site called "Mojave 2." At that site, the mission collected its second drilled sample of Pahrump Hills for laboratory analysis. The first sample was collected in September from a site called "Confidence Hills." Since leaving the Mojave site, Curiosity has driven to another location visible in the scene, where drilling at a site called "Telegraph Peak" is planned. Curiosity took previous self-portraits with the MAHLI camera at three sites it explored before reaching the base of Mount Sharp. "Compared with the earlier Curiosity selfies, we added extra frames for this one so we could see the rover in the context of the full Pahrump Hills campaign," said rover team member Kathryn Stack at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "From the Mojave site, we could include every stop we've made during the campaign." NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using Curiosity to assess ancient habitable environments and major changes in Martian environmental conditions. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, developed, built and operates MAHLI. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, built the rover and manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
