Brief Abstract Summary

Mass spectrometric analyses during hypervelocity flybys remain challenging due to fractionation of the molecules. Our novel ion optical system allows measuring the chemically unaltered nature of species for an analysis of complex (bio) molecules during flybys of Venus and ocean worlds.
