DETECTOR OF MICROMETEORITE AND TECHNOLOGY-RELATED PARTICLES Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: studies of pollution of terrestrial space. SUBSTANCE: detector has sensors of ionization and condenser types. Condenser sensors are manufactured in the form of section on which outer shell is welded. Ionization sensor is fabricated from film condenser sections intercoupled by welding in the form of ball. Welding of outer and inner shells includes two welds forming conduits filled with air. Inner and outer shells are intercoupled by strops, has common center and are produced from organic film metallized on both sides having structure metal-dielectric-metal. Inner shell is additionally coupled to outer shell used as target of ionization sensor by hollow film dielectric cable. Outer metallized coat of inner shell and inner metallized coat of outer shell (capacitor plates) are connected correspondingly to minus and plus wires of constant voltage source. EFFECT: enhanced functional reliability and efficiency. 2 cl, 5 dwg
