The crash shattered many of the detectors into pieces a few millimeters across, and Utah dirt and dust from the spacecraft coated the pieces. But, while the crash of the spacecraft was a setback, all was not lost. The spacecraft and all of its pieces were carefully collected and returned to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. There, all the tools and skills of ground-based laboratories and scientists were applied to the problem of cleaning the collectors and making them suitable for analysis.

S. Alan Stern was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on November 22,1957. He received his B.S. in physics (1978), M.S. in aerospace engineering (1980), B.A. in astronomy (1981), and M.A. in planetary atmospheres (1981) from the University of Texas, and a Ph.D. in astrophysics and planetary science in 1989 from the University of Colorado. His first professional assignment was as a summer intern at NASA s Johnson Space Center in 1979 and 1980. He then worked as a systems engineer at Martin Marietta Aerospace (1982-83) and spacecraft/instrument engineer at the University of Colorado s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (1983-86). In 1986, he was appointed assistant director in the Office of Space Science and Technology at the University of Colorado, after which he became assistant to the vice president for research at the university. 

However, there are several other meteorites, the SNC meteorites, which appear to be close relatives of BETA 79001, so these other meteorites probably come from Mars as well (McSween 1994). Hence, the noble gases within them can be used to study volatile reservoirs and transport processes on Mars. A listing of the Martian meteorites described in the scientific literature as of the time of publication is given in Table 1. McSween has written three valuable reviews of Martian meteorites as the topic has evolved (McSween 1985, 1994, 2002), and the Johnson Space Center has produced a useful compendium of information about them (Meyer 1998). More recently, Treiman et al. (2000) have reviewed the arguments that these meteorites are indeed from Mars, and Volume 96 of Space Science Reviews, stemming from a 2000 workshop on the Chronology and Evolution of Mars, contains several reviews of specific aspects of Martian meteorites, several of which will be referenced below.

The study determined consumer acceptability of products containing from 6% to 20% sweet potato on dwb. Vegetarian products made with sweet potato were developed for use in nutritious and palatable meals for future space explorers. Sensory (appearance/color, aroma, texture, flavor/taste, and overall acceptability) studies were conducted using panelists at NASA/Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. All the products were vegetarian with the exception of a... 

Drinking water and humidity condensate samples collected from U.S. Space Shuttle and the Russian Mir Space Stations are analyzed routinely at the NASA-Johnson Space Center as a means of verifying water quality and monitoring the environment of the spacecraft. Anions and cations were determined by ion chromatography whereas carboxylates and amines were determined by CE (phthalate/TTAB for carboxylates and imidazole/HIBA for amines). Results showed that Shuttle water is of distilled quality whereas Mir-recovered water contains various levels of minerals. Organic ions were rarely detected in potable water samples but were present in humidity condensates.

The meteorite specimens that have been collected annually by the ANSMET scientists are curated at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, where they are assigned official designations such as ALHA 81005. The letters ALH refer to the Allan HiUs, the letter A indicates that the specimen was collected by ANSMET, 81 refers to the 1981/82 field season, and 005 teUs ns that it was the fifth Antarctic meteorite from that field season examined in Houston. The letter A was dropped after the 1981/82 fieldseason. The bare-ice (or blue-ice) areas adjacent to the Transantarctic Mountains are identified by the letter codes listed in Appendix 18.12.1. The origin of the bine-ice areas was discussed at a workshop in 1988 chaired by Cassidy and WhiUans (1990) who referred to them as stranding surfaces (Faure 1990). 

All of the meteorite specimens collected in Antarctica are listed in the Antarctic Meteorite Newsletters issued twice each year by the Meteorite Working Group at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. In addition, selected specimens are classified based on petrographic descriptions of thinsections. This information is also published in The Meteoritical Bulletins that are combined with the annual supplements of the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science. The Meteoritical Bulletins list and describe meteorites recovered from all regions of the Earth including Antarctica.

Fig. 18. 23 This small rock sample was collected on January 18, 1982 by Ian WhiUans and John Schutt on the Middle-Western ice field on the East Antarctic ice sheet west of the Allan HiUs. It was subsequently identified as a lunar rock by scientists at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, and was assigned the identifying number ALHA 81005. The rock contains fragments of coarse-grained plagioclase feldspar in a fine-grained black matrix and has been described as an anorthosite breccia from the highlands of the Moon.
