On Wednesday night 11 Jan 2012 at approx 19:20 hrs MST I observed a rather
large meteorite fall from the area of Portales New Mexico. It was observes
at about 30 degrees west of north. I observes a chunk separate from the main
mass. It really appeared quite close. I would have guessed an impact in the
northern central New Mexico or possibly, but more unlikely, southern
Colorado. Have you received any information on this event?
Respectfully

Hi List,

Would it be safe to say, that the new Martian "Tata" fall is the most
significant meteorite fall of the 21st century, and perhaps of the
last 50+ years?

All things considered, this has the makings of a very significant
event for science. This is the most pristine sample of Mars to arrive
in labs for a long time, if ever. Even the freshest NWA finds cannot
compare to fresh stones collected less than a year after the fall.
The unbroken stones and larger fragments will supply science with
unaltered, unoxidixed material for research. This new Martian is
going to be widely studied, so I hope everyone is getting their
microprobes warmed up in anticipation.

Word has it that institutions and museums have been allocated a
sizeable amount of material in terms of trades and donations, so there
appears to be plenty of it available for study. It is safe to say
that this new meteorite (whatever the official name turns out to be)
will appear in a lot of papers and journals over time.

For science, this is the next best thing to a manned sample-return
mission. For collectors this is best thing since sliced bread. The
only thing that could have made this fall better, from a collector's
standpoint, is if a stone had bounced off a Bedouin tent and struck a
camel in the hump. But, you can't have your cake and eat it too. ;)

So, what is the going consensus on the details of this fall?

Nickname - Tata or Foumzgit (mostly "Tata")

TKW - several kilograms, probably less than 10kg. Much of this is in
the form of large whole stones and large broken stones and that
material has been absorbed into collections and is not likely to
return to the market. Ballpark figure of material to be available
eventually on the collector market is probably "a few kilos" (2-3kg?)

Date of fall - July of 2011 (certain), actual date - July 25, 2011?
Other reports say earlier in July (13-15?)

Time of fall - day or night? (night?)

Type - Shergottite, shocked, silver-grey matrix with black shock
veins. Glossy fresh black fusion crust.

Misc - witness reports include an audible explosion and popping sounds.

Does all of that sound about right?

ESA coordinates international satellite reentry campaign
European Space Agency
12 January 2012

An international campaign to assess the imminent atmospheric reentry of
Russia's Phobos-Grunt Mars craft is being coordinated by experts in
ESA's Space Debris Office. Participants include NASA and Roscosmos as
part of the 12-member Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee.
 
ESA experts are working with international partners in a coordinated
prediction campaign focused on Phobos-Grunt, a Russian Mars mission that
is expected to largely burn up in Earth's atmosphere in the next few days.

Phobos-Grunt was launched on 8 November 2011 into an initial Earth orbit
of 206 x 341 km. The injection into an Earth-escape trajectory to Mars
failed, and the spacecraft was declared lost by the Russian space
agency, Roscosmos, on 13 December.

On 2 January, a comprehensive reentry prediction campaign for
Phobos-Grunt was begun by the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination
Committee (IADC), a technical forum for the worldwide coordination of
activities related to human-made and natural debris in space.
 
ESOC in Darmstadt hosts reentry database
 
ESA's Space Debris Office, located at ESOC, the European Space
Operations Centre, Darmstadt, Germany, hosts the IADC reentry event
database that is used to exchange orbit data and reentry predictions
among IADC members.
 
Orbit data for Phobos-Grunt are provided mainly by the US Space
Surveillance Network and the Russian Space Surveillance System. In
addition, European radars based in Germany and France are also providing
orbit calculations. Based on this, ESA is issuing reentry prediction
bulletins to its Members States.

According to its Russian owners, Phobos-Grunt has a mass of 13.5 tonnes,
including about 11 tonnes of propellant, and a body size of 3.76 x 3.76
x 6.38 m, with solar wings spanning 7.97 m.
 
Large number of uncertainties affect reentry
 
"Right now, due to the large number of uncertainties in the orbit and
space environment affecting the satellite, the indications are that
Phobos-Grunt could reenter between 13 and 17 January, between 51.4??N and
51.4??S," says Prof. Heiner Klinkrad, Head of ESA's Space Debris Office.

He adds that this window will shorten as we approach reentry.

"Analyses by Roscosmos and NASA indicate that the fuel tanks, filled
with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine - referred to as UDMH - will burst
above 100 km altitude, release the propellant and largely demise
thereafter."

"This, combined with a relatively low dry mass of just 2.5 tonnes, means
that Phobos-Grunt is not considered to be a high-risk reentry object."

"Roscosmos expects that at most, some 20 to 30 fragments may reach
Earth's surface, with a total mass of less than 200 kg."

Since the beginning of the space age, there has been no confirmed report
of an injury resulting from reentering space objects.
 
IADC assesses potentially hazardous reentries
 
In recent years, IADC members have developed a data exchange network
specifically supporting the assessment of potentially hazardous
reentries, which allows members to enter and extract orbit data in order
to refine reentry predictions.
 
IADC member agencies include ESA, NASA, European national agencies and
the Russian, Chinese, Canadian, Japanese, Ukrainian and Indian space
agencies.

Results from the Phobos-Grunt reentry campaign will be used by IADC
members to improve reentry models and make future predictions more accurate.
 
Enhancing Europe's observation capacity
 
In 2009, ESA launched the Space Situational Awareness Preparatory
Programme, which, in part, aims to design a network of surveillance and
tracking systems and novel data processing technologies that will enable
Europe to build up a complete catalogue of orbiting objects.

This system will provide highly accurate data to reduce the threat from
on-orbit collisions and improve predictions of where and when
uncontrolled satellite re-entries could occur.

Hi List. Not being a geologist, I found a large rock the other day (2 lbs
and a little bigger then the size of a fist) which seemed heavier then most
that size I have come across and having brownish non-porous territorialized
look. I took it home as I really wanted to know what the heck it is. Of
course the first thing I did was test it with a neodymium magnet and it
stuck to the rock, but it did not snap to the rock as if say like a solid
iron rock. Still I could move and wobble the rock by waving the magnet over
it. I then decided to use my metal detector and it would not register even
when using "all metal" for detection...quite odd. I then decided to grind a
small part of it just to see if maybe there might be visible chondrules. I
ground that rock for about 7 minutes hard with a hand power grinder. It
hardly ground off anything and I was using a grinding wheel used to cut or
grind stainless! I did notice several small areas with what looked like
black fusion crust but felt that since it did not cover a majority of the
meteorite that it might of been just asphalt tar that may have attacked
itself during its life. Digging deeper and leaning to the side that it is
NOT a meteorite, I checked up on magnetite and or hematite and living up
here in Upstate New York was not sure that those types were common in my
area. Anyways...any one out there have any idea what type of Earth rock this

could be for my own curiosity? I will take a few pics to those who would
like to view it and or send it to someone who has a strong background in
geology to kill the curiosity of the cat. One big thing I forgot to mention
was that under a large magnifying glass that there were glitters of what
look like or could be tiny crystals giving a diamond glitter look, which
again would stray away as of meteorite origin. Would be nice if it was
loaded with diamond!! Any thoughts!
Sincerely
Don Merchant

Not even close, Mike if by century, you were referring to falls observed
through the 1900's. Take Nakhla for example. Witnessed fall. Immediate
collection by experts and responsible for stirring the fuel under that most
famous of all Martian arguments....is there is, or is there was ..life on
Mars. Chock full of fossilized nanobacteria, biomorphs and whatever else
they found last month that is being written up at this writing.

If life has been confirmed on Mars, wouldn't the President have called a

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Studying Rock Target 'Amboy' -
sols 2825-2832, January 04-11, 2012:

Opportunity is positioned for winter on the north end of "Cape York" on
the rim of Endeavour Crater.

The rover is tilted about 15 degrees to the north for favorable solar
energy production. Opportunity is conducting in-situ (contact) science
investigations of the rock target, "Amboy." The M?ssbauer spectrometer
has been in place for several sols on Amboy. On Sol 2829 (Jan. 8, 2012),
the Microscopic Imager was used to make additional surveys of the target
with the M?ssbauer being placed again on the same point. After some
image assessments, the robotic arm was used on Sol 2831 (Jan. 10, 2012),
to slightly reposition the M?ssbauer.

Ongoing with the long M?ssbauer integrations, Opportunity has been
conducting regular radio Doppler X-band tracking passes in support of an
experiment to measure the precession and nutation of the planet.
Opportunity has also been collecting color Panoramic Camera (Pancam)
images of the full 360-degree "Greeley" panorama from this site. The
plan ahead is more M?ssbauer, more Pancam and more radio Doppler tracking.

As of Sol 2832 (Jan. 11, 2012), solar array energy production was 281
watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.697 and a solar array
dust factor of 0.471.

Total odometry is 21.35 miles (34,361.37 meters).

I only know that there are papers published making the argument that certain
SNC's and Alan Hills 84001 show evidence of fossilized life forms. There are
other scientists who dispute this. Nakhla has the more compelling artifacts
and is used more often to prove the hypothesis.

Hi Count and List,

I probably should have clarified - the 21st century. So basically the
last ~12 years. It's hard to find a fall (pun intended) in the last
12 years that is more important (overall) than this Martian. In
terms of scientific value, Tagish Lake is probably high on the list of
the most important in the 21st century.

If NonCom approves it as a fall and if a lot of good research comes
out of this meteorite, then it's surely one of the most interesting
falls of the 50 years.

Let's all cross our fingers and hope that MetSoc approves this as a
named fall and that they approve it quickly once they have the data
required to do so. :)

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi list members,
 
Patrick and I will arrive in Tucson on January 22nd and plan to set up and
open by the 26th in suite #106 at the old Inn Suites hotel. We are going to
be offering our D'Or angrite pieces at super low prices. We'll have pieces
from 1 gram to 1200 grams. Finally after all these years now is your chance
to add a specimen of this spectacular angrite to your collection. We'll be
selling it for a lot less than it has ever been offered for before. If your
not going to Tucson or just wish to get a jump on the show feel free in
inquire via email. We're home for a few more days.
 
Wishing you all well!
 
Edwin and Patrick

Hey list, I have a couple of requests.
Awhile back there was a photo of what
looked for all the world like a nail

Would you mind sending me off list a

week.
I also need a concise rendition of the
Ensisheim story.
Many thanks,
