Astromaterials Focus Group Activities
The Astromaterials Focus Group is planning a workshop for June of 2002, to be held at the NASA Ames Research Center, which will review and examine the data related to biogenic magnetite in Mars Meteorite ALH84001. The workshop of invited speakers will cover the evidence for and against biogenic magne- tite in ALH84001. A questionnaire is also being formulated by the Astromaterials Focus Group to be sent to all of its members and to the NAI Executive Council. This questionnaire will solicit recommendations regarding sample mainte- nance during collection, packaging on Mars, return to Earth, and the receiving and processing of samples on Earth.
