Abstract
The interest in Mars exploration has largely grown in the past years. Not only is it essential for a better understanding of the universe but Mars also represents a potential human life habitat. Mars is known in particular for being the dusty planet. It is then natural to want to study the dust in the Martian atmosphere and this is what this research study is about. Trough the modeling of a two-plate system we can capture dust during the hypersonic flight of a vehicle in the martian atmosphere, without it having to land. Before going to Mars, some simulations were made to assess how efficient this model could be. I then worked on the experimental testing of the model in a hypersonic wind tunnel using different dust injection methods. We were able to put in place a method that brings a satisfactory resemblance between the calculations and the experimental work. A large amount of dust was collected without it being damaged which is an improvement of what exists today.
