NASA's Stardust Mission -- Interplanetary Dust Particles

Hello all,

I'm currently working on a research paper about IDPs, and I'd like to spend some time discussing NASA's Stardust Mission.

I'm wondering if anyone might know of some links to some scholarly articles concerning the matter? I've read NASA's release, which is rather general and brief, but I'm looking for some more extensive material on the matter.

Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, all!

Of course...a little obvious?

I'm looking for much more indepth discussion of the mission, particularly the implications of the dust samples that were gathered.
