The Cosmic Dust Analyser onboard the Cassini spacecraft is able to determine the elemental composition of interstellar dust particles via its time-of-flight impact mass spectrometer. For the analysis of the data obtained, the laboratory calibration of the CDA flight spare instrument is neccessary. Submicron- to micron sized natural dust analogues with known composition were prepared and finally accelerated at the Heidelberg dust accelerator facility onto the CDA flight spare unit and a high resolution impact mass spectrometer, the Large Area Mass Analyser. The resulting spectra from these hypervelocity impacts were investigated with respect to their elemental features.
