The construction and putting into operation of a dust simulation test stand to determine the sticking probability of comet dust to target surfaces is described. A study of the relevant literature was also made. Tests in a centrifuge were prepared. The first tests with polished gold targets show the expected results and lead to the application of structured target surfaces. These tests were conducted with glass globules with diameters from 5 to 250 microns at speeds between 5 and 200 m/sec. Particles with a diameter larger than 10 microns are reflected. The imprint cross section is smaller than the particle cross section. For globule speeds from 5 m/sec on, the target materials do not behave purely elastically.
