Scientific paper

Space stations like Mir provide an excellent platform for capturing interplanetary dust particles/cosmic dust particles (IDP/CDP). A collaborative effort between NASA-Ames and the University of Paris, supported by the SETI Institute and Lockheed Martin, assembled and flew IDP capture modules containing silica aerogel from early October 1995 to early February 1996 as part of EUROMIR, an ESA experiment on Mir. This paper summarizes what has been learned from the flight of the aerogel modules and preliminary engineering and chemical analysis of the recovered modules. Strict handling procedures were followed to ensure that any detected changes in the recovered modules, including contamination, resulted from the space station environment, or from shipping (packing material), or from the captured particles.
