DESCRIPTION:Interstellar dust from the local interstellar cloud moves thro
 ugh the heliosphere due to the relative motion of the solar system with re
 spect to its immediate interstellar surroundings. Once in the solar system
 \, its properties can be measured in situ by cosmic dust detectors on spac
 ecraft\, or they can be captured and brought back to the Earth for further
  laboratory analysis. \n\nInside the solar system\, dust from comets\, dus
 t ejected from (atmosphereless) planetary surfaces or dust coming from sub
 surface oceans (e.g. Enceladus) and from volcanoes (e.g. Io)\, are carrier
 s of valuable information about the history of the solar system and about 
 the interiors of these moons today. \n\nIn this talk\, we introduce the sm
 all but surprisingly rich field of in situ cosmic dust science: the scienc
 e cases\, measurement techniques\, calibrations\, and simulations. We show
  how in situ dust science and heliospheric sciences go hand in hand\, and 
 we finish with a discussion on current and near-future missions and missio
 n concepts for dust research.
