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…
Fabrication of silica aerogel with = 1.08 for separation in a threshold Cherenkov counter of the J-PARC TREK/E36 experiment
Makoto Tabata, Akihisa Toyoda, Hideyuki Kawai +4
This study presents the development of hydrophobic silica aerogel for use as a radiator in threshold-type Cherenkov counters. These counters are to be used for separating positrons…
Silica aerogel for capturing intact interplanetary dust particles for the Tanpopo experiment
Makoto Tabata, Hajime Yano, Hideyuki Kawai +4
In this paper, we report the progress in developing a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust capture panel for use in the Tanpopo experiment on the International Space Station (ISS). Pre…
