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…
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…
