Scientific paper

The Munich Dust Counter (MDC) is a scientific space experiment on board the Japanese HITEN satellite (MUSES-A mission). The MDC is also on board the German satellite BREM-SAT of the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM). The plasma, that is generated by the impact of cosmic dust particles on a target, is measured to determine mass, velocity and crude flight direction of cosmic dust particles. After a short introduction describing the experiment setup the measurement principle, the sensitivity range and the accuracy of the calculation of the velocity and mass are presented.
