The Cosmic Dust Intact Capture Experiment is based upon Exo-ICE, chosen as a Space Station Freedom Attached Payload. We have incorporated the most recent inventions in aerogel along with simplified acoustic impact-detection system developed for STARDUST resulting in considerably improved and simplified experiment for the International Space Station. This experiment captures interplanetary and possibly interstellar cosmic dust intact materials to Earth-based laboratories for detailed analysis and will expand the existing scientific research domain in the origin and history of planetary materials and biogenic elements and compounds.
