Abstract

Mars Dust Counter (MDC) is a light-weight impact-ionization dust detector on board Japanese Mars mission NOZOMI, which was launched on July 4th 1998. The main aim of MDC is to detect dust particles around Mars and reveal the distribution of the martian ring or torus of dust from Phobos and Deimos. In three years between July 1998 and June 2001, MDC has detected more than 90 dust impacts. In November 1998, NOZOMI encountered the Leonid meteoroid stream. Although MDC detected two dust impacts, directional analysis showed that those probably did not belong to the Leonid particles. In the interplanetary observation from 1999, NOZOMI has detected about 60 interplanetary particles moving around the sun and several particles of interstellar origin.
