Technician places Cosmic Dust Analyser in tester
MODEL RELEASED. Cosmic dust analyser testing. Dr Simon Green places the Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA) in a test chamber. The CDA is designed to collect and analyse interplanetary and interstellar dust. This chamber simulates the environment in space. A vacuum is formed inside the chamber, and dust particles are accelerated to around 200 kilometres per second and fired into the chamber. The CDA was part of the payload on the Cassini mission to Saturn, which launched in October 1997. Information on the mass, speed and composition of cosmic dust particles is important, as future missions will have to be protected against damage from small high-velocity collisions

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Dr Simon Green can be seen carefully placing the Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA) into a test chamber. The CDA, an advanced scientific instrument, is specifically designed to collect and analyze interplanetary and interstellar dust. To simulate the harsh conditions of space, a vacuum is created inside the chamber while dust particles are accelerated to an astonishing speed of 200 kilometers per second before being fired into it. The significance of this testing lies in gathering crucial information about the mass, velocity, and composition of cosmic dust particles. Such knowledge plays a vital role in safeguarding future space missions against potential damage caused by small yet high-velocity collisions with these minuscule particles. It's worth noting that the CDA was part of the payload on the groundbreaking Cassini mission to Saturn. Launched back in October 1997, this ambitious endeavor aimed at unraveling mysteries surrounding Saturn's rings and its enigmatic moons. This visually striking image not only showcases cutting-edge research but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of exploration beyond our planet's boundaries. It serves as a reminder that scientists like Dr Simon Green continue to push boundaries and develop innovative technologies necessary for understanding our vast universe.
