Abstract

AbstractThe results of an initial examination of the LDEF MicroAbrasion Package (MAP) and limited results from other onboard hardware are presented. The intriguing tasks of interpreting these data in terms of the dynamics of a particulate distribution of natural and artificial origin are discussed. It emphasises the unique aspects of the mission and especially the attitude stabilisation which may be exploited to extract a greater range of information compared with that previously derived from space collections and exposure of similar passive sensors.
