The Cosmic Dust Analyzer experiment (CDA) will study the dust environment at Jupiter encounter, in the asteroid belt, in the Saturnian system, and in interplanetary space throughout the cruise phase of the mission. The experiment will measure the mass, charge, velocity, trajectory, and numerical flux rate of particles and, importantly, will be the first detector to analyze the chemical composition of dust in a variety of environments in the solar system. An international consortium is developing an instrument consisting of four subsystems optimized individually for specific tasks to provide the maximum data return. The Unit for Space Sciences at the University of Kent is responsible for the design and development of one of these subsystems, the chemical analyzer.
