NASA's Genesis mission, launched on August 8, 2001 is the fifth
mission in the Discovery series. Genesis addresses questions about
the materials and processes involved in the origin of the solar
system by providing precise knowledge of solar isotopic and
elemental compositions for comparison with the compositions of
meteoritic and planetary materials. This book describes the Genesis
mission, the solar wind collector materials, the solar wind
concentrator and simulations of its performance, the plasma ion and
electron instruments, and the way these two instruments are used to
determine the solar wind flow regime on board the spacecraft. The
book is of interest to all potential users of the data returned by
the Genesis mission, to those studying the isotopic and chemical
composition of the early solar system whose work will be influenced
by the measurements made by Genesis and by all those interested in
the design and implementation of space instruments to study space
plasmas.
