Microparticle Impact
The Microparticle Impact analytical data in Astromat includes the samples curated by the JSC - a variety of spacecraft and spacecraft components that have been impacted by natural and man-made microparticulates. These include the impact-preserving materials captured as micro-impacts in unique environments such as the Genesis and Stardust sample return capsules, pieces of Surveyor 3, the long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF), the Solar Maximum satellite, the European Recoverable Carrier (EuReCa), the MIR space station and the Hubble Space Telescope.
Astromat Data Managers completed ingesting the legacy data for these samples and continue to enter newly published data into the Astromat Synthesis.
