Dust in Space!
Space dust provides important clues on the
formation and composition of our solar
system as well as other stars.
Several instruments have been
launched on past missions to analyze
the flux and composition of space dust
in-situ.

Time-Of-Flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometers
• Dust is ionized against a target and accelerated through an
electric field to a detector.
• Ion mass is inferred from Time-Of-Flight.

be completed:

• Dust triggering system
not yet implemented.
• No decontamination
system.
• System has not yet been
designed for or tested in
the space environment.
•No interface for dust

Minimum Success Criteria
•
Achieve working instrument with mass resolution of at least
100 m/Δm (Req: 1.TR2)
•
Achieve TRL-5: Working prototype tested in relevant
environments (Req: 1.TR4)
Remember: Working with Preflight Model only from this point on!
-Designed originally in context of flight to help pave the way to TRL >
5, and ultimately to a possible mission of opportunity
-Requirements have been categorized based on this into Preflight only
(PF), Flight only (F), or Both (B)
-We must only verify PF and B requirements

voltage divider electronics, etc. during Thermal
Balance Test and Thermal Cycle Test
• UV Testing
– Test signal response of detector exposed to UV

High Voltage Safety
• Electrodes will be held at high
potentials (~6 kV), but very low
current. Total power estimated to
be < 0.3 Watts.
• Typical resistance of a human
body roughly 105 Ohms. Worst
case scenario ~ 103 Ohms (wet or
broken skin).
• Maximum electrical current
exposure roughly 6 amps.
Risk mitigation measures:
•Ensure that CRIA is powered down
when electrode contact is possible.
• Ensure that instrument exterior is
grounded to prevent charge
accumulation from self-capcitance.

Thermal Control Device
- Full power on below setpoint
- power off above setpoint.
- Electronic on/off controllers offer faster
reaction time
and tighter control than thermostats.
on/off controllers have a differential (hysteresis or dead
band) between the on and off points to reduce rapid cycling
and prolong switch life.
- With on/off control, temperature never stabilizes but
always oscillates around the setpoint.

•Germanium Black Kapton
•Aluminized Kapton
•Dacron netting
•Double Aluminized Kapton
Design Selection:
•Cover external structure with
Germanium Black Kapton
Multi-Layer Insulation
Hot Case:
•With MLI CRIA sees reduced heating
power of min, 1 W, max 11 W (instead
of min 26W, max 343 W)
•Assumed MLI ε=0.03, 13 layer MLI
Cold Case:
•No solar power input

124
Thermal Insulation
• Multi Layer Insulation (MLI)
1. Multi layer insulation closely spaced
layers of aluminized Mylar or Kapton
2. Insulation reduces the rate of heat flow
per unit area between two boundary
surfaces and prevents a large heat influx


m FWHM peak width
FWHM: full width at half maximum
the ability of the mass
spectrometer to distinguish,
detect, and/or record ions with
different masses by means of
their corresponding TOFs.
• m/m will be effected by:
– Sampling rate
m/m= t/2t CRIA:
dt=2ns
– The energy and angular
spread of emitted ions
– Electronic noise
129
Sampling Rate
• The flight time for ions is approximately:
t[ s]  0.86 106 m[amu] then m / m  t / 2t
t (10)  3.9 ns ; t (100)  12.3 ns ; t (300)  21.3 ns ;
• Required m/Δm>100, however, the instrument can achieve
m/Δm=350. For not missing narrow, we want m/Δm=350
• We want to resolve the C peak (m=12) with high accuracy
• dt=2ns would give us 2 measured points for the C peak.
The number for m=100 and m=300 would be 6 and 10.
• Then, sampling rate=500MHz

• The transient recorder

132
Size Range of Detectable Dusts
• For a two year mission with a
0.1 m2 dust detector at 1 AU
records only about one particle
of 10^-13 g (0.2um radius) per
day and one particle of 10^-10
g (2um radius) per two weeks,
respectively.
• Assumption: For a decent
mass spectrum, at least 10^4
ions need to be generated
upon the impact on the target.

• Verification Plan
-Detector Functional Test : Combination of detector
performance tests usually performed each time the detector is
powered on with high voltage to confirm the detector is
operating nominally.
-Short-Form System Functional Test : Abbreviated version of
Long-Form Functional Test, performed when the detector is
power on without high voltage to confirm most electronic and
software function.
-Long-Form System Functional Test : Conducted before and
after each environmental test to verify all functional and
electrical interface requirements for every phase of the
mission.
