Cosmogenic nuclides are useful for reconstructing the cosmic‐ray precompaction exposure history of the chondritic components in the early solar system. Here, we present He and Ne isotope data for 22 chondrules and 4 matrix samples from Miller Range (MIL) 090657, which is the third most pristine Renazzo‐type (CR) carbonaceous chondrite (CR2.7). The studied samples contain variable mixtures of galactic cosmic ray (GCR)‐produced cosmogenic noble gases and trapped noble gases of presolar origin. Remarkably, all chondrules and matrix samples have within analytical uncertainty almost identical nominal 21Ne cosmic‐ray exposure (CRE) ages in the range 3.45–6.20 Ma. The nominal 3He CRE ages are mostly discordant, possibly due to partial 3H and 3He losses and/or an inaccurate correction for trapped 3He. The absence of precompaction exposure effects longer than a few Ma in MIL 090657 is at variance with data for other CR chondrites. We conclude that most CR chondrules experienced the same precompaction exposure history—although the nature of the precompaction exposure differs between the chondrites—in regions of the disk that were either exposed to or shielded from GCRs but in which exposure effects due to solar wind and/or solar cosmic rays (SCRs) were negligible. The new data do not support the X‐wind model of Shu and coworkers.

As an attractive collector medium for hypervelocity particles, SiO2 aerogel has been deployed on outer space missions. Aiming at quantifying the complicated relationship between the penetration track and the residual grains, many attempts have been made on hypervelocity experiments and models. However, models were difficult to accord strictly well with experimental data attributed to many uncertainties including thermal effects, aerogel accretions and projectile ablation during the penetration. In this paper, impact experiments were conducted at various density silica aerogels (50∼120 kg•m−3) with regular soda-lime glass beads as projectiles. Varying degrees of thermal effects happened around and along track was observed by scanning electron microscopy. That energy distribution in the track released by hypervelocity projectile has a decreasing change. The regular data of the terminal A-β type track (the track with combined features) was found according to A-type tracks classification based on the conditions of vapor model (Domínguez, 2009). Just considering for projectile overcoming the crushing strength with uniform deceleration, the simple mechanism was confirmed by the data fitted well with the snowplow model (Domínguez et al., 2004). The result after tracks classification is due to the terminal track with few thermal effects and aerogel accretions. In addition, other two types of tracks formation processes were discussed.
