TL;DR: Bastien et al. as mentioned in this paper used ER-2 airframe to demonstrate the capability of the ER2 aircraft for the first time in the early 1990s and used it in the development of the Orion spacecraft.

TL;DR: The Stardust spacecraft exposed an aerogel and aluminum foil collector to the interstellar dust stream for a total of 195 days before its encounter with Comet P81/Wild2 as mentioned in this paper.
Developing the New Hayabusa Curation Facility at Johnson Space Center
B. T. De Gregorio,Michael E. Zolensky,Ron K. Bastien,B. McCann,D. R. Frank,J. L. Warren,C. C. Allen +6 more
TL;DR: The first 15 grains from the Hayabusa spacecraft were transferred to NASA for parallel curation and allocation in 2011 as discussed by the authors, the first 15 arrived in December 2011 and were processed at the Johnson Space Center (JSC).
Neon and Helium in the Surface of Stardust Cell C2028
TL;DR: In this article, noble gas data from a second aerogel sample in which grains are observed, cut from the surface of a cell (C2028) riddled with tiny tracks and particles that are thought to be secondary in origin, ejected toward the cell when a parent grain collided with the spacecraft structure and fragmented.
