Comparison of comet 81P/Wild 2 dust with interplanetary dust from comets

, 2008
The Stardust mission returned the first sample of a known outer solar system body, comet 81P/Wild 2, to Earth. The sample was expected to resemble chondritic porous interplanetary dust particles because many, and possibly all, such particles are derived ...

Simultaneous Detection of the Size and Velocity of the Largest Ejecta Particles with Velocities Exceeding 1 km s−1

The Planetary Science Journal
Impact ejecta with velocities exceeding the escape velocity of planetary bodies become meteorites and dust particles in interplanetary space. We present a new method that allows simultaneous measurement of the size and velocity of the largest high ...

Auger spectroscopy of stratospheric particles : the influence of aerosols on interplanetary dust

, 1985
Particle collections from the stratosphere via either the JSC Curatorial Program or the U2 Program (NASA Ames) occur between 16km and 19km altitude and are usually part of ongoing experiments to measure parameters related to the aerosol layer.

Interplanetary dust and comet orbits

, 1972
Several years of observational results are available from the Pioneer 8 and 9 interplanetary dust detectors, and these data were used to show dust counts graphically.

Assessing the Cosmic Infrared Background Monopole from Far-infrared to Millimeter Wavelengths

The Astrophysical Journal
We measured the cosmic infrared background (CIB) monopole for the COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) and Planck High-Frequency Instrument (HFI) bands with an updated model for the Galactic dust emission. This model includes a dust excess

Orbital dynamics of "smart dust" devices with solar radiation pressure and drag

, 2011
This paper investigates how perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in the presence of Earth shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth centred orbits for swarms of micro-scale 'smart dust' devices, without ...

Orbit control of high area-to-mass ratio spacecraft using electrochromic coating

, 2010
This paper presents a novel method for the orbit control of high area-to-mass ratio spacecraft, such as spacecraft-on-a-chip, future „smart dust‟ devices and inflatable spacecraft.

Solar Energetic Particle Track Accumulation in Edgeworth–Kuiper Belt Dust Grains

The Planetary Science Journal
Interplanetary dust grains (IDPs) originate from a variety of sources and are dynamically transported across the solar system. While in transport, high- Z solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energies of ∼1 MeV nuc ^−1 leave damage tracks as they pass ...
