The DESTINY+ Dust Analyser (DDA) is a science instrument for the study of cosmic dust particles. DDA uses a reflectron-type time-of-flight mass spectrometer to analyse the composition of particles, whose material is ionized upon impacting the sensor target surface. The instrument will fly aboard the DESTINY+'mission, which is set to launch in 2024.[1]
