DEX in near Earth orbit in light of Venus Orbiter Dust Experiment.

ABSTRACT: Study of IDP has been of interest to researchers for few decades, primarily after missions like Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini, Stardust and observations of comet, Hale-Bopp. The data from experiment like GORID have extended our knowledge about dust surrounding Earth. Similar attempts were made for understanding IDP at planets like Mars and Venus, however, in-situ measurements of IDP are awaited. We have proposed VODEX as well as MODEX for measuring dust around Venus and Mars, respectively and the Dust EXperiment (DEX), a replica of the same, was recently flown in near-Earth orbit at ~ 350 km using POEM of PSLV C-58 (XPoSat) mission. DEX was found working successfully in space and it has also shown presence of IDP in near-Earth orbit during its operation from 1^st January to 9^th<
