Experiments presently conducted at the Martin Marietta Denver facility to collect cometary dust during a Tempel 2 flyby are reviewed. It is shown that a number of viscid materials are quite suitable to collect particles up to 50 μm diameter at speeds up to 50 m/s. First results are presented for the more complicated setups using nonviscid metal surfaces for the collection of dust. These targets allow the use of surface analysis techniques for a more elaborate chemical analysis of the collected dust particles.
