A new balloon collection technique, Magellan, for obtaining large cosmic dust particles > 50µ is described. The technique utilized a 40 m2 aperture funnel suspended 300 m below a balloon at an altitude of 25 km. First results indicate that the collected particles are diverse both chemically and physically.
