Rosetta Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS)

    Description

    The Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS) on Rosetta is designed to capture dust particles and image them in three dimensions at nanometer scales with an atomic force microscope. The primary scientific objectives include: 1) obtaining images of single particles at a spatial resolution of 4 nm; 2) making statistical evaluations on sizes, volumes and shapes; 3) characterizing the size distribution from ~4 nm to a few micrometers; 4) analyzing the shape, volume, and topographic structure of individual particles; 5) profile the spatial and temporal variations of particle flux; 6) characterize the dust environment of the asteroids; and 7) perform imaging and statistical analysis of impact craters caused by interplanetary dust particles.
