Genesis , Five Years After
Introduction: Almost five years after the crash-landing of the sample return capsule of the Genesis solar wind collection mission, many of the originally defined high-priority goals [1] have been reached or prospects are very good that they will be reached within the next few years. None of the major goals had to be abandoned as a consequence of the crash. This contribution reviews some of the ...
متن کاملSolar Wind Neon in the Genesis Concentrator Gold Cross by Uv Laser Ablation: First Preliminary Data
Introduction: To determine the oxygen isotopic composition of the present day solar wind is one of the key goals of the Genesis solar wind (SW) collection mission, as the solar wind is a proxy for the solar nebula. In order to increase the number of atoms to be analysed and hence analytical precision on O isotopes, SW ions in the mass range up to 28 amu were accelerated and focussed onto a "con...
متن کاملEducation is not a race.
1473 COVER The Genesis Concentrator target (6 centimeters in diameter), bearing atoms from the solar wind, is disentangled from its support frame and wire mesh following the crash of the sample return capsule in the Utah desert in 2004. Analyses of an unbroken silicon carbide quadrant (top) reveal the initial oxygen and nitrogen isotopic compositions of the solar system, which are distinctly di...
متن کاملIsotope Fractionation of Solar Wind Implanted into the Genesis Concentrator Target Determined by Neon in the Gold Cross and Implantation
Neon abundance and isotopic composition measurements are now done for all 4 arms of the Genesis concentrator gold cross (consisting of gold on stainless steel; AuSS). The data prove that the entire concentrator target was radially homogeneously irradiated (Fig. 1). An implantation experiment showed, however, that AuSS, characterized by a rough surface, experienced a significantly larger backsca...
متن کاملIsotopic and elemental fractionation of solar wind implanted in the Genesis concentrator target characterized and quantified by noble gases
We report concentrations and isotopic compositions of He, Ne, and Ar measured with high spatial resolution along a radial traverse of a silicon carbide (SiC) quadrant of the Genesis mission concentrator target. The Ne isotopic composition maps instrumental fractionation as a function of radial position in the target: the maximum observed isotopic fractionation is approximately 33& per mass unit...
