Hypervelocity Microparticle Impact Studies: Simulating Cosmic Dust Impacts on the Dustbuster
Abstract
Iron and copper microparticles accelerated to 2-20 km/s in a 2 MV Van de Graaff accelerator were used to test a recently-developed cosmic dust mass spectrometer, known as the Dustbuster. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
