Flagstaff Tea Party
Group says USGS astrogeology building is historic. Together they house more than200 USGS employees, most of whom work in fields other than astrogeology.

Extractions: USGS says it's in the way. By Dan Frazier, Tea Party Editor eology. In 1964, the U.S. Geological Survey began construction of one of the world's first buildings devoted to Astrogeology. The new 14,000-square-foot building atop McMillan Mesa was to be used to create maps of the moon in advance of a manned lunar landing. An ambitious young Astrogeologist, Eugene Shoemaker, had helped to select the site for the building and wielded the ground-breaking shovel.

Extractions: News Center Home A community forum for the discussion of progressive ideas Volume 1, Number 5 December 2000 Free Donations appreciated Eugene Shoemaker By Dan Frazier, Tea Party Editor Eugene Shoemaker was just 34 when he broke ground on Building One. At the time, he was the chief of the USGS Branch of Astrogeology. He would go on to a celebrated career, helping to firmly establish the new science of Astrogeology. Though he maintained an office in Building One throughout much of his career, he spent much of his time doing Astrogeology work at various field locations on the Colorado Plateau, including Meteor Crater. He helped to establish conclusively that Meteor Crater was the result of a meteor impact. He worked extensively with the Apollo program, helping to train astronauts in the use of geologic tools to be used on the moon. For three years beginning in 1969, he lived in Los Angeles, where he chaired the Geology Department at the California Institute of Technology. Later in his career, he returned to Flagstaff, though he frequently traveled to California's Palomar observatory and other scientific centers around the world. Working with his wife, Carolyn, he helped to discover 32 comets, a record-setting accomplishment. He is best known for helping to discover Shoemaker-Levy 9, which plunged into Jupiter in 1994. Shoemaker died in 1997, while traveling in Australia. In honor of Shoemaker's achievements, a vial carrying an ounce of his ashes was sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector in 1999. The highlights of Shoemaker's career are recounted in Shoemaker the Man who Made an Impact by David H. Levy.

Extractions: Overall Theme: Harmonization of international planetary cartography efforts. Note that "harmonization" is not the same as "homogenization". We are not advocating an effort to make all national programs look the same. Instead, we are interested in facilitating the free interchange of ideas and information between various national efforts that incorporate some component of planetary cartography.

Extractions: Written by Brian Marsden Gene Shoemaker, renowned both as a geologist and an astronomer, and a member of the Board of Directors of The Spaceguard Foundation, was killed instantly on the afternoon of July 18, when his car collided head-on with another vehicle on an unpaved road in the Tanami Desert northwest of Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory of Australia. His wife Carolyn, who had closely collaborated with him in both his geological and his astronomical activities for many years, was injured in the accident and is in stable condition in Alice Springs Hospital. Gene Shoemaker and Carolyn Spellman were married in 1951. A visit to Arizona's Meteor Crater the following year began to set Gene toward the view that both it and the lunar craters were due to asteroidal impacts. In 1956 he tried to interest the USGS in the construction of a geological map of the moon. This work was sidelined, because the national interest in the production of plutonium led him to study of the craters formed in small nuclear explosions under the Yucca Flats in Nevada and invited a comparison with Meteor Crater. It was then that he did his seminal research on the mechanics of meteorite impacts that included the discovery, with Edward Chao, of coesite, a type of silica produced in a violent impact. Awarded a master's degree in 1954, Gene Shoemaker received his doctorate from Princeton in 1960 with a thesis on Meteor Crater.

Extractions: The Landsat 7 satellite was launched successfully on April 15, 1999. NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are jointly managing the program. Landsat 7 is extending the medium-resolution global land coverage that has been the hallmark of the Landsat program since 1972. A complete global archive of relatively cloud-free coverage was collected during the first 6 months of operation; such coverage has not been achieved in nearly a decade. All Landsat 7 data received at the primary ground station at the USGS Earth Resources Observation System (EROS) Data Center are being archived and made available to the public in digital format within 24 hours of collection. The USGS EROS Data Center Earth Observing System Distributed Active Archive Center, which is funded by NASA, supported four missions in 1999, including the prelaunch, instrument checkout, and operations activities of Landsat 7 and the prelaunch and operations readiness activities in support of the Terra mission. USGS staff participated in the calibration of the Terra Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer instrument that is collecting information on Earth's environment. The USGS Astrogeology Program continued to make significant contributions to the exploration of the solar system. NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter continued to return exceptional images of Io and other Jovian satellites that give major insight into the surficial processes at work on those moons. The Deep Space 1 spacecraft returned image and spectral data from a near-Earth asteroid, leading to new knowledge that perhaps the near-Earth asteroid Braille is related to the much larger and well-studied asteroid Vesta, perhaps as a "chip off Vesta's old block" or as a "sibling" from a larger body that has long since been destroyed.

Extractions: Credit: Courtesy U.S. Geological Survey Explanation: Eugene Shoemaker's passion was Astrogeology . He dreamed of going to the Moon . Credited with inventing the branch of Astrogeology within the U.S. Geological Survey , his contributions to the field and the study of impact craters, lunar science, asteroids, and comets are legendary. Though his own career as an astronaut/geologist was sidelined by a health problem, he helped train the Apollo astronauts in geology and the investigation of the lunar surface . Seen here at Meteor Crater, Arizona in the mid 1960s, Shoemaker was killed in a tragic car accident in July 1997. He is survived by his wife and professional colleague, Carolyn, and children. In a fitting tribute conceived by a former student , Eugene Shoemaker's ashes were placed on-board the Lunar Prospector spacecraft which has now successfully reached a polar mapping orbit around the Moon. After completing its scientific mission, the spacecraft will ultimately impact the lunar surface.

Extractions: To: dmorrison@mail.arc.nasa.gov EUGENE M. SHOEMAKER (1928-1997) Eugene ("Gene") Shoemaker, 69, was killed in a two-car accident near Alice Springs, Australia, on the afternoon of July 18. His wife Carolyn suffered broken bones, and is hospitalized in stable condition at Alice Springs Hospital. A geologist by training, Shoemaker is best known for discovering, with his wife Carolyn and colleague David Levy, a comet near Jupiter. Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was broken up by tidal forces from Jupiter, and fragments collided with the planet in July 1994. Together, the Shoemakers were the leading discoverers of comets this century. Shoemaker carried out pioneering work on the nature and origin of the Barringer Meteor Crater, near Winslow Arizona, which helped provide a foundation for cratering research on the Moon and planets. This work led to the establishment of a lunar chronology, allowing the dating of geological features of our sateliies surface. Shoemaker took part in the Ranger missions, was principal investigator for the television experiment on the Surveyor lunar landers (1963-1968), and led the geology field investigations team for the first Apollo lunar landings (1965-1970). In 1961, he organized the Branch of Astrogeology of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff, and acted as its director from 1961 to 1966. On his retirement from USGS in 1993, Shoemaker became a staff member at Lowell Observatory. Most recently, he was active in the Clementine mission that imaged the Moon, and was science team leader on the Clementine 2 mission. That mission will examine two or more near-Earth objects close up. Shoemaker won numerous awards, and in 1980 became a member of the Natioanl Academy of Science.

Extractions: The world has lost a true hero! The biography of: EUGENE SHOEMAKER Eugene was said to have "lived as he died with his inquiring mind participating in the adventure of ever learning more over an unusually large range of scientific disciplines." He is known to be the "father" of the science of near-earth objects, to the discovery and study of which The Spaceguard Foundation is dedicated, and his expertise will be missed. Having a disease, which enabled him from doing what he wanted and going to moon also adds to why Eugene Shoemaker is known as a hero. While battling with sickness he was a scientist, astrogeologist and head/chairman of many space and science organizations. He was an asset to science and hero among all.
