An electric field sensor to measure charged dust on the Marco Polo asteroid sample return mission

Abstract:

The Marco Polo mission has been selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) as a candidate for launch under the Cosmic Vision programme in -2017. The mission ultimately aims to understand the origins of the planets and even life itself, by returning a sample of material from a primitive asteroid, representative of the early Solar System. Particles on the surface of the asteroid are readily charged by photoelectric emission. Preliminary calculations suggest that photoelectric fields of tens of...
