The //**COMEDA**// database will contains micro-infrared and micro-Raman spectra (complemented by FESEM/EDX analyses) of different types of cosmomaterials: 1) Cometary Samples collected by the Stardust spacecraft during its flyby of comet 81P/Wild 2, 2) Meteoric dust (DUSTER) collected in the upper stratosphere: nanometre to micrometre uncontaminated meteoric dust particles, 3) Cometary analogues (used to calibrate GIADA instrument onboard Rosetta/ESA mission): anhydrous silicate minerals and hydrated layer silicates in four size fractions, and some selected analogue minerals coated with carbon layer, and/or with a layer of sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) crystals.
