Dust Measurements from Interstellar Probe: Exploring the Zodiacal Cloud and the Interstellar Dust Environment
We advocate for the exploration of interplanetary and interstellar dust grains in the solar system. Dust contributes to many planetary processes in the solar system, but several scientific questions remain. We describe groundbreaking observations of interplanetary and interstellar dust that could be conducted with the Interstellar Probe mission.
