TL;DR: The Stardust spacecraft collected dust samples of the Kuiper belt comet 81P Wild-2 in aerogel and returned them to Earth January 15, 2006 as discussed by the authors, where the main PE science goals are to provide an initial charac-terization of the returned samples with an emphasis on the capture process and its effects on the samples, a comparison of Star-dust samples to other meteoritic materials, and the abundance of presolar materials in the Stardust samples.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simulation of the atmospheric entry heating experienced by extraterrestrial dust particles, quantifying their volatile loss into the early Earth atmosphere and characterising their organic volatile components.

TL;DR: Gnos et al. as discussed by the authors presented an extremely KREEP-rich rock, SaU 169, at the 66th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting in Munster, Germany.

TL;DR: Ungrouped achondrite NWA 4518 is an ultramafic breccia with abundant siderophile rich IIA-like metal as mentioned in this paper, its silicate chemistry is similar to that of WINs, HEDs, and silicate inclusions of IIE irons.
