Electron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy have been utilized for the analysis of aluminum-laden particulates. Collection and analysis of samples are described. Samples were collected during a rocket launch at the NASA Kennedy Space Center. Analysis reveals that at least three chemically different types of aluminum are present in the samples.
