The Physical Nature of Interplanetary Dust as Inferred by Particles Collected at 35 km
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Particles were collected at an altitude of 35 km by two flights of a volume-sampling micrometeorite collector. The collection scheme is very sensitive and is capable of collecting a significant number of particles. Many of the particles collected have chemical compositions similar to solar or to iron meteorites. Morphology of collected particles indicates that both true micrometeorites and ablation products were collected.
