Ultralow-density double-layer silica aerogel fabrication for the intact capture of cosmic dust in low-Earth orbits
Makoto Tabata, Hideyuki Kawai, Hajime Yano +4
The fabrication of an ultralow-density hydrophobic silica aerogel for the intact capture cosmic dust during the Tanpopo mission is described. The Tanpopo experiment performed on th…
Design of a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust collector for the Tanpopo mission aboard the International Space Station
Makoto Tabata, Eiichi Imai, Hajime Yano +10
We are developing a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust collector for use in the Tanpopo experiment to be conducted on the International Space Station. The mass production of simple t…
Tanpopo cosmic dust collector: Silica aerogel production and bacterial DNA contamination analysis
Makoto Tabata, Yuko Kawaguchi, Shin-ichi Yokobori +4
Hydrophobic silica aerogels with ultra-low densities have been designed and developed as cosmic dust capture media for the Tanpopo mission which is proposed to be carried out on th…
