=== Gas and particles === * '''ROSINA''' (Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis). The instrument consisted of a double-focus [[Sector instrument|magnetic mass spectrometer]] (DFMS) and a [[reflectron]] type [[Time of flight|time of flight mass spectrometer]] (RTOF). The DFMS had a high resolution (could resolve [[nitrogen|N<sub>2</sub>]] from [[carbon monoxide|CO]]) for molecules up to 300 [[Atomic mass unit|amu]]. The RTOF was highly sensitive for neutral molecules and for ions. The Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has contributed to the development and construction of the instrument.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis—ROSINA |journal=Advances in Space Research |first1=H. |last1=Balsiger |first2=K. |last2=Altwegg|author2-link=Kathrin Altwegg |first3=E. |last3=Arijs |first4=J.-L. |last4=Bertaux |first5=J.-J. |last5=Berthelier |first6=P. |last6=Bochsler |first7=G.

COSIMA analysed the composition of dust particles by [[secondary ion mass spectrometry]], using [[indium]] ions. It could detect ions up to a mass of 6500 amu. COSIMA was built by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE, Germany) with international contributions. The COSIMA team is led by the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS, Germany).<ref>{{cite journal |title=Chemometric evaluation of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry data of minerals in the frame of future ''in situ'' analyses of cometary material by COSIMA onboard ROSETTA |journal=Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry |first1=Cecile |last1=Engrand |first2=Jochen |last2=Kissel |first3=Franz R. |last3=Krueger |first4=Philippe |last4=Martin |first5=Johan |last5=Silén |first6=Laurent |last6=Thirkell |first7=Roger |last7=Thomas |first8=Kurt |last8=Varmuza |display-authors=5 |volume=20 |issue=8 |pages=1361–1368 |date=April 2006 |doi=10.1002/rcm.2448 |pmid=16555371|bibcode=2006RCMS...20.1361E }}</ref> * '''GIADA''' (Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator).
