Zusammenfassung |
A technique for collecting aerosol particles between altitudes of
17 and 85 km is described. Spin-stabilized collection probes are ejected from a
sounding rocket allowing for multi-point measurements. Each probe is equipped
with 110 collection samples that are 3 mm in diameter. The collection
samples are one of three types: standard transmission electron microscopy
carbon grids, glass fibre filter paper or silicone gel. Collection samples
are exposed over a 50 m to 5 km height range with a total of 45 separate
ranges. Post-flight electron microscopy will give size-resolved information
on particle number, shape and elemental composition. Each collection probe is
equipped with a suite of sensors to capture the probe's status during the
fall. Parachute recovery systems along with GPS-based localization will
ensure that each probe can be located and recovered for post-flight analysis. |
