Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, volume 6, number 2

Meteorites from the 1981 and 1982 Antarctic collection are listed showing classification, weight, degree of weathering, degree of fractionation, % Fa, and % Fs. Physical and petrigraphic characteristics are described for 23 samples from the Allan Hills, Thiel Mountains, the Pecora Escarpment, and the Elephant Moraine locations.

Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, Volume 8, Number 2

Requests for samples are welcomed from research scientists of all countries, regardless of their current state of funding for meteorite studies. All sample requests will be reviewed by the Meteorite Working Group (MWG), a peer-review committee that guides the collection, curation, allocation, and distribution of the U.S. Antarctic meteorites. Issurance of samples does not imply a commitment by any agency to fund the proposed research. Requests for financial support must be submitted separately to the appropriate funding agencies. As a matter of policy, U.S. Antarctic meteorites are the property of the National Science Foundation and all allocations are subject to recall.

Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, volume 9, no. 2

Preliminary description and classifications of meteorites that were completed since publication of the February issue are contained. Most large (greater than 150 g) specimens (regardless of petrologic type) and all pebble sized (less than 150 g) specimens of special petrologic type are represented by separate descriptions. However, specimens of nonspecial petrologic type are listed only as single line entries. For convenience, new specimens are also recast by petrologic type. Each macroscopic description summarizes features that were visible to the eye at the time the meteorite was first examined. Classification is based on microscopic petrography and resonnaissance-level electron-probe microanalysis. The pairing list was updated.

V-gram. A Newsletter for Persons Interested in the Exploration of Venus, No. 8, 24 March 1986

The status of the Magellan (MGN) Project (formerly the Venus Radar Mapper Project) is outlined and the impact of the Challenger accident on the planned mission launch date and use of residual Galileo hardware is discussed. The responsibilities and planned scientific studies of the Magellan Radar Investigation Group (RADIG) and Gravity Investigation Group (GRAVIG) are described. Team members and their affiliations are listed.

Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, Volume 11, Number 2, August 1988

Presented are classifications and descriptions of a large number of meteorites which include the last samples from the 1984 collection and the first samples from the 1987 collection. There is a particularly good selection of meteorites of special petrologic type in the 1987 collection. The achondrites include aubrites, ureilites, howardites, eucrites, and a diogenite. The howardites are particularly notable because of their size and previous scarcity in the Antarctic collection. Noteworthy among the 7 irons and 3 mesosiderities are 2 anamolous irons and 2 large mesosiderites. The carbonaceous chondrites include good suites of C2 and C4 meteorites, and 2 highly equilibrated carbonaceous chondrites tentatively identified as C5 and C6 meteorites. Also included are surveys of numerous meteorites for Al-26 and thermoluminescence. These studies provide information on the thermal and radiation histories of the meteorites and can be used as measures of their terrestrial ages.

NASA newsletters for the Weber Student Shuttle Involvement Project

Biweekly reports generated for the Weber Student Shuttle Involvement Project (SSIP) are discussed. The reports document the evolution of science, hardware, and logistics for this Shuttle project aboard the eleventh flight of the Space Transportation System (STS-41B), launched from Kennedy Space Center on February 3, 1984, and returned to KSC 8 days later. The reports were intended to keep all members of the team aware of progress in the project and to avoid redundancy and misunderstanding. Since the Weber SSIP was NASA's first orbital rat project, documentation of all actions was essential to assure the success of this complex project. Eleven reports were generated: October 3, 17 and 31; November 14 and 28; and December 12 and 17, 1983; and January 3, 16, and 23; and May 1, 1984. A subject index of the reports is included. The final report of the project is included as an appendix.

Guide to the US collection of antarctic meteorites 1976-1988 (everything you wanted to know about the meteorite collection). Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter, Volume 13, Number 1

The state of the collection of Antarctic Meteorites is summarized. This guide is intended to assist investigators plan their meteorite research and select and request samples. Useful information is presented for all classified meteorites from 1976 to 1988 collections, as of Sept. 1989. The meteorite collection has grown over 13 years to include 4264 samples of which 2754 have been classified. Most of the unclassified meteorites are ordinary chondrites because the collections have been culled for specimens of special petrologic type. The guide consists of two large classification tables. They are preceded by a list of sample locations and important notes to make the tables understandable.

Antarctic Meteorite Newsletter

The availability of 116 new meteorites from the 1994-1996 collections is announced. There are 4 special chondrites, 2 carbonaceous chondrites, and 1 achondrite among the new meteorites. Also included is a redescription of Lodranite GRA95209.
