The Collisions Into Dust Experiment (COLLIDE) is a GAS experiment (G-772) which flew on STS-90 in April and May of 1998. The experiment was designed and built by a student-led team at the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. COLLIDE was designed to study the types of gentle collisions which occur between planetary ring particles and in the early stages of planet formation. The experiment provided the first data on low energy impacts into unconsolidated powders in a microgravity environment. Here we discuss the scientific motivation and results of COLLIDE, and we examine the technical and managerial process of developing a GAS payload with students on a short timescale and with a modest budget.
