Abstract

The high velocity impact events have attracted more attention for the last two decades in the space research study. Hypervelocity study has reached to the level that impact velocity is achieved in several km/s for all materials. The collision of large objects like asteroids are a very few events but impacts of small dust particles, whose sizes are less than a micron are more frequent. These meteoroids may give the information regarding the solar system origin and evolution. A dedicated dust instrument can be useful to understand the physical properties of the micrometeorites or dust particles. In this paper we have presented a comparative study of different types of impact ionization dust detectors like metal plate dust detector, PVDF film based dust detector and a micro-channel plate dust detector.
