TL;DR: The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation on Solar Probe Plus is a four sensor instrument suite that provides complete measurements of the electrons and ionized helium and hydrogen that constitute the bulk of solar wind and coronal plasma.

TL;DR: The Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector captured seven particles and returned to Earth for laboratory analysis have features consistent with an origin in the contemporary interstellar dust stream and more than 50 spacecraft debris particles were also identified as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results from the preliminary examination of this collection, the Stardust Interstellar Preliminary Examination (ISPE), were presented in this article, where extraterrestrial materials were found in two tracks in aerogel whose trajectories and morphology are consistent with an origin in the interstellar dust stream, and in residues in four impacts in the aluminum foil collectors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the trajectories of ISD in the solar system and the distribution of the impact speeds, directions, and flux of the ISD particles on the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector during the two collection periods of the mission were predicted.

TL;DR: In this paper, Westphal et al. reported the identification of 69 tracks in approximately 250 cm 2 of aerogelcollectors of the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector using a distributed internet-based virtual microscope and search engine.
