This next generation instrument will have a large sensitive area(0:1m ) inmorder to achieve a higher number of dust impacts and a mass resolution 100 which allowsDmthe identification of the most abundant elements in a dust particle.In order to study the hypervelocity impact process as well as to apply new components formass analyzer the laboratory set-up was built. It has a reflectron in order to compensate initialion energies and a microchanel plate detector as an ion detector.The Large Area Mass Analyzer has been simulated. The sensitive area of the instrument2is about 0:1m . The mass resolution varies in the range 150-200. The design improvementsallow us to incorporate the trajectory sensor in order to determine the velocity and mass of thedust particles. A simulating software as well as analytical calculations were applied in order toobtain the geometrical configuration.
