IMPACT

IMPACT is a multi-institutional member of NASA's Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) through a cooperative agreement... In February 2011 the newly developed accelerator housed by IMPACT, formerly the Colorado Center for Lunar Dust and Atmospheric Studies (CCLDAS), produced its first successful dust impact. Since then, IMPACT has been working to improve the accelerators performance as well as the ability to actively select dust particles to provide a specific set of impactor parameters (ie. velocity, mass, and charge)...
