Instruments have been developed to measure the volatile component of solid particles emitted from the surface of an insolated ice/dust mixture. Two types of particles are identified, those composed of almost pure ice and others of minerals containing ice. This observation has been supported by a separate experiment under similar conditions when pure, but darkened water ice was illuminated. Further support for the two types of collected particles is derived from the fact that one of the minerals, montmorillonite, is a silicate capable of absorbing layers of water. The experiment also provides information on the speed of emitted particles. Due to the well-known locations of the opening of the collectors and of the ice/dust mixture, initial particle velocities may be calculated.
