Concepts for Dust Velocity Measurements on a Cometary Orbiter
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Abstract
We have studied several optical systems for dust velocity measurements on a cometary orbiter using light scattering to detect particles. Two main concepts are considered. The first relies on trajectory imaging, while the second uses time-of-flight measurements between two or more light sheets. Their merits and disadvantages are discussed. The favored system, time-of-flight between two planes with particle localization, is described.
