I hope that my English it's not so bad.

In the past U2 aircraft.captured interplanetary dusts

http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/science/sd-particle.html

with surfaces with special glue, Nissen should ask
to Nasa for more informations on this program,
or it can to build a trap for dusts with a covered 
area at the departure and the arrival and containing 
or of adhesive bands for packages, or
alternatively a surface covered of ice without
powders, the ice behaves like one glue, its surface
must not to be regular, if possible as a snow.
Best greetings.
