Calibration experiments with the impact plasma and momentum detector DIDSY-IPM flown on the GIOTTO mission were performed at the plasma drag accelerator in Munich. Silicate particles with masses between 10-9g and 10-6g and speeds between 2 km/s and 12 km/s were shot on the sensor. At constant speed a linear dependency between the impact charge and the particle mass was found. The DIDSY-IPM electronics has a nonlinear response to the impact charge. Additionally, the penetration limit for the three foil protective cover of the sensor was determined. A penetration limit of 5×10-10g for silicate particles at 70 km/s was derived.
