In her LADEE coverage, Emily Lakdawalla states that the Lunar Dust Experiment (LDEX) has heritage from Cassini CAPS (Cassini Plasma Spectrometer). I wonder if that is correct. CAPS measures the energy and electrical charge of particles such as electrons and protons and LDEX is an impact ionization dust detector. Emily probably mixed it up with Cassini's CDA (Cosmic Dust Analyzer).
