Standard In Situ Impact Detector(DEBIE).... The detector will actively monitor sub-millimeter sized particles which impact the detector surfaces. The instrument will consist of a central processing unit and up to 4 separate sensor units which can be placed on different spacecraft surfaces. DEBIE will use a combination of impact ionisation, momentum and foil penetration detection. 2, record 2, English, - standard%20in%2Dsitu%20impact%20detector

Positively or negatively charged ions entering the sensor are first detected by the charge that they induce when they fly through the entrance grid. This charge signal will only be evaluated if the ion subsequently impacts the impact plasma detector. Dust particles(charged or uncharged) are detected by the plasma produced during the impact on the gold target of the sensor. 2, record 3, English, - impact%20plasma%20detector
