A characterisation of the collision properties between icy interstellar grains is crucial to understand planet formation. Here, we measure collision properties on a reference elastic system to evaluate the inelasticity of ice particles collisions. We propose upgrades to correct for some experimental biases and to investigate water evaporation as possible explanation for the energy loss during collision.
