Wild 2 approach maneuver strategy for Stardust spacecraft
14th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Meeting Maui, Hawaii, USAStardust will return samples of dust from comet Wild 2 to be collected during an encounter in January 2004. Approach to Wild 2 will be performed with a number of trajectory correction maneuvers following a period of solar conjunction ending in early October 2003.

Rocket experiments were conducted to collect particles from noctilucent clouds at Kiruna, Sweden. The Pandora II inflight shadowing technique considered by Hallgren and Hemenway (1971) was used in the experiments. This technique makes it possible to study the collected particles as a function of time and altitude intervals. The particles observed consisted of an irregular electron-opaque core surrounded by a rounded, low density material. X-ray and electron opacity data suggest that the abundances of the heavy elements, such as Hf and Ta, in the particles are comparable to those of the light elements, such as Al and Si.
