Scientific paper

We present in this paper new interstellar dust data obtained in the inner solar system by the dust instruments on-board the Cassini, Galileo and Helios spacecraft. While the Ulysses dust instrument provided an in-situ monitoring of the interstellar dust stream at high ecliptic latitude between 3 AU and 5 AU, the new data cover an heliocentric distance range between 0.3 AU and 3 AU in the ecliptic plane. We show therefore in this paper the deep penetration of interstellar dust inside the Solar System. Furthermore, the data provide evidence of the interstellar dust stream alteration in the inner solar system, caused by radiation pressure forces and gravitation focusing.
