Mir's meteorite trap



Has anyone (Bernd?) heard of any scientific results of the "meteorite trap"
on Mir that was scheduled to come down this year?

"MOSCOW (AP) -- Two Russian cosmonauts on the Mir space station
successfully deployed a French-made device for catching and studying
small meteorite particles ..."

"The device will stay attached to the Mir until 1999, when it will be taken
back to Earth for analysis by a French astronaut who will fly to the station
early next year."
