GIADA (Grain Impact Analyzer and Dust Accumulator) is an in situ instrument, on board the Rosetta spacecraft, designed to measure the dynamical properties of the dust grains emitted by the comet 67P/Churiumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P/C-G). It consists of three subsystems able to measure the mass and speed of single dust grain and dust mass flux.…
