TL;DR: In this article, Giotto, Vega-1 and Vega-2 have been bombarded by a flow of gas and dust particles during their flyby of comet Halley, and the emission of secondary electrons and sputtered ions caused by the large impact velocities perturbed the plasma density in the spacecraft vicinity and was a possible source of interference for electric field and plasma measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ulysses dust experiment beyond the asteroid belt, their possible sources and the possibilities of comparing them to observations of dust in the Zodiacal light are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-analyse these candidate cometary trail particles in the Helios dust data to investigate the possibility that some or all of them indeed originate from cometary trails and constrain their source comets.

TL;DR: The Munich Dust Counter (MDC) is a scientific space experiment on board the Japanese satellite HITEN (MUSES-A) and on board BREM-SAT which will be launched in a GAS-CAP container by the Shuttle during the D-2 Mission as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature recorded immediately after hypervelocity collision of microparticles comprising iron and nickel with a silver-coated piezoelectric plate was analyzed using photomultipliers of different spectral response characteristics.
