The STONE 6 experiment The STONE series of experiments, conducted by the European Space Agency, are designed to test the response of various rock types to entry into the Earth's atmosphere, i.e. to simulate meteorites. This includes assessment of whether sedimentary rocks, and any entrained organic materials, would survive. The rock samples are attached to the exterior of a FOTON reentry capsule around the point of maximum heating, and exposed to re-entry velocity of 7.6 km/s. The STONE 6 experiment, conducted in September 2007 [1], included an organic-rich sedimentary rock, in which the major objective was a detailed analysis of the fate of the organic matter.
