F-corona-experiment: requirements for remote sensing of interplanetary dust.
Abstract
The near-solar dust that produces the brightness of the E-corona represents the central region of the interplanetary dust cloud. The structure of the inner dust cloud and the properties of the meteoritic complex and its relation to other constituents of the interplanetary medium have to be considered for the concept of near solar missions. To investigate this complex a synoptical observation in different spectral ranges is needed. The concept of a dedicated rocket borne experiment is outlined.
