Scientific paper

The Suborbital Particle Aggregation and Collision Experiment (SPACE) is a novel approach to study the collisional properties of sub-millimeter-sized, highly porous dust aggregates. The experiment is expected to help increasing our knowledge about the processes dominating the first phase of planet formation. During this phase the growth of planetary precursors occurs by agglomeration of micrometer-sized dust grains to aggregates of a few tenths of a millimeter. However, the formation of larger bodies from the so-formed building blocks is not yet fully understood. Recent numerical models especially lack support by experimental studies in the size range of submillimeter- sized bodies colliding at very gentle relative velocities of below 1 cm/s.
