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…
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…
