In the 20th Century, people have collected hundreds of stratospheric interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), thousands of meteoroid impacts on retrieved spacecraft, and tens of thousands of micrometeorites and cosmic spherules from the deep sea sediments and polar ice. Together with tens of thousand collections of larger 'meteorites', those samples (generally referred as 'cosmic dust') have greatly advanced our knowledge about the largest portion of extraterrestrial materials falling to the Earth. However, we still do not have any extraterrestrial materials that have a 'ground truth' of their origins, except a few collections of lunar, Martian and HED meteorites. Thus it is the next logical step to conduct sample return missions directly from their possible parent bodies such as cometary coma by Stardust and asteroid surfaces by MUSES-C in order to re-classify existing cosmic dust and meteorite samples. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
