Scientific paper

The Eureca-A timeband capture cell experiment is a modest extension of the time honored single foil capture cell technique for recovery of extraterrestrial material. The spacecraft, ostensibly designed for microgravity experimentation in low earth orbit, is the European retrievable carrier which takes advantage of the specific dimensions and payload launch capabilities of the United States Space Transportation System (the Space Shuttle), to provide a low cost reusable platform for missions, with durations of up to 9 months, not requiring celestial pointing. The experiment, of area 0.2 m, will probably return with about 1300 impact sites, each resolvable into a 2-3 day timeband during the flight.
