Friday morning
Discussion / specific topics

Friday afternoon
Plan future work


Discussion points

o Signal interpretation – reliable dust detection, can we agree?
o Comparison of data from various spacecraft (individual impact signatures)
o Physics of dust impacts – what can we study and how and what is the relevance?
o Research plan for dust accelerator – after an overview of the dust accelerator and
measurement techniques/capabilities, make a list of measurements that the field would
be interested in.
o Current and future relevant missions – Cassini is over with still plenty to address,
MAVEN claims to detect dust particles, Parker Solar Probe is a unique opportunity of
detecting dust in new environments, Same with Solar Orbiter.
o Potential links to other teams.
