The Opera Instrument: An Advanced Curation Development for Mars Sample Return Organic Contamination Monitoring
Summary
Conference abstract on Opera, a portable, cleanroom-compatible prototype that uses quartz crystal microbalances to monitor particle and organic contamination on hardware for NASA’s Mars Sample Return. The first prototype reaches about 100 ng/cm², with work planned towards the 1 ng/cm² that sample curation requires.
