Dust of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko collected by Rosetta/MIDAS: classification and extension to the nanometre scale
T. Mannel, M. S. Bentley, P. D. Boakes +9
The properties of the smallest subunits of cometary dust contain information on their origin and clues to the formation of planetesimals and planets. Compared to IDPs or particles…
Aggregate dust particles at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Mark S. Bentley, Roland Schmied, Thurid Mannel +9
Comets are thought to preserve almost pristine dust particles, thus providing a unique sample of the properties of the early solar nebula. The microscopic properties of this dust p…
MIDAS: Lessons learned from the first spaceborne atomic force microscope
Mark S. Bentley, Herman Arends, Bart Butler +6
The Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS) atomic force microscope (AFM) onboard the Rosetta orbiter was the first such instrument launched into space in 2004. Designed only a…
WatSen: Design and testing of a prototype mid-IR spectrometer and microscope package for Mars exploration
Stephen D. Wolters, Jon K. Hagene, Arnt T. Sund +8
We have designed and built a compact breadboard prototype instrument called WatSen: a combined ATR mid-IR spectrometer, fixed-focus microscope, and humidity sensor. The instrument…
