| Abstract: | We present the principles of a particle-handling system for the International Space Station (ISS) with which experiments with
astrophysical and planetological applications will be performed. The principle of dust deagglomeration and dispersion was
successfully tested in short-duration microgravity experiments. The flight of the systems on the ISS is planned for 2012. |
