DUST ANALYSIS

Overview of function

This type of instrument samples the immediate space for dust, with higher technology such as propulsion fields these instruments are for the most part only useful when craft are traveling under inertia drives or coasting, otherwise propulsion fields will move dust away from the craft or at least change the particle’s trajectory. Dust detection instrument will typically measure dust mass and velocity as well as charge and trajectory. The obtained readings themselves are not very informative for navigation, though dust characterization can tell you where you are in a planetary system, what planetary system and to an extent what the immediate neighbourhood is like.
