“…The aim of the MAGIC (Mesospheric Aerosol—Genesis, Interaction and Composition) project was to develop a rocket-borne instrument to sample MSPs in the mesosphere and return them to the ground for detailed analysis in the laboratory. 204 MAGIC samplers, which exposed transmission electron microscopy grids in succession as the payload traversed the upper mesosphere, were flown on several sounding rocket payloads between 2005 and 2011. Hedin et al 204 have recently described the inherent challenges, both in sampling nanometer-sized particles and in their subsequent analysis.…”

“… 204 MAGIC samplers, which exposed transmission electron microscopy grids in succession as the payload traversed the upper mesosphere, were flown on several sounding rocket payloads between 2005 and 2011. Hedin et al 204 have recently described the inherent challenges, both in sampling nanometer-sized particles and in their subsequent analysis. Although particles with compositions close to that expected for MSPs were found, problems with different types of contamination and uncertainties in the sticking efficiency of the particles on the sampling surfaces rendered the results inconclusive.…”

“…Meanwhile, collecting the relatively large quantities required for surface science 24 experiments (often grams to kilograms) from the atmosphere presents an extremely large 25 engineering challenge (Hedin, et al, 2014). In order to investigate and understand such 26 atmospheric processes, it is therefore vital to employ suitable analogue materials which will 27 mimic the behaviour of the environmental material.…”

11Analogues have been developed and characterised for both interplanetary dust and 12 meteoric smoke particles. These include amorphous materials with elemental compositions 13 similar to the olivine mineral solid solution series, a variety of iron oxides, undifferentiated 14 meteorites (chondrites) and minerals which can be considered good terrestrial proxies to 15 some phases present in meteorites. The products have been subjected to a suite of 16 analytical techniques to demonstrate their suitability as analogues for the target materials. 17

“…Meteor dust particles when entering and vaporising in the Earth's atmosphere also act as external factors affecting the TO. As reported in (Hedin et al, 2014), between a few tons to several hundred tons of meteoric material enters the Earth's atmosphere each day, and most of this material is ablated and vaporized in the 70 − 120 km altitude region. The subsequent chemical conversion, re-condensation and coagulation of this evaporated material are thought to form nanometre-sized meteoric smoke particles (MSPs).…”
