Scientific paper

On 14 February 2011, the Stardust spacecraft performed its second cometary flyby, following the successful completion of primary mission to return coma samples from comet 81P/Wild 2. Stardust NExT passed within 200 km of the nucleus of comet 9P/Tempel 1, first visited by the Deep Impact spacecraft in 2005, providing an opportunity to make in-situ measurements of a second cometary coma with the same dust detection instruments. We present new results from the Dust Flux Monitor Instrument at the Tempel 1 flyby which detected bursts of impacts consistent with measurements at Wild 2, interpreted as the fragmentation of larger aggregates of material emitted from the nucleus into smaller particles within the coma.
