Scientific paper

Laboratory simulation of comet dust collection is described. An electromagnetic accelerator drives 5 to 250 micron diameter glass beads onto gold and aluminum targets at speeds between 5 and 200 m/sec. Particle adhesion is tested by placing the targets in an ultracentrifuge. Surface roughness effects on adhesion were examined. Grooved gold targets show good adhesion, and concentrate particle distribution. Sandblasted and sandpapered surfaces make adhesion easier, but make finding the particles more difficult. A higher percentage of particles hitting targets in multilayer formations adhere, compared to single particles.
