VISTA (Volatile ln-Situ Thermogravimeter Analyzer) è il payload secondario del cubesat Milani a bordo dello spacecraft di Hera e avrà lo scopo di rilevare la presenza di particelle di polvere inferiori a 5-10 µm; caratterizzazione di volatiles e dei composti organici (es. acidi carbossilici) e di monitorare la contaminazione molecolare a supporto di altri strumenti sensibili. Milani verrà rilasciato dopo la fase di cruise di Hera mentre i due payload a bordo, ovvero lo spettrometro ASPECT e il termogravimetro VISTA avranno tre mesi per caratterizzare l'ambiente asteroidale e la sua superficie.
VISTA (Volatile ln-Situ Thermogravimeter Analyser) is the secondary payload of Milani cubesat on-board Hera spacecraft and will aim at detecting the presence of dust particles smaller than 5-10 µm; the volatiles (e.g., water) and light organics characterization (e.g., carboxylic acids with low carbon chain) and to monitor the contamination processes in support to other instruments. Milani will be released after the Hera spacecraft cruise phase and the two payload on-board, i.e. ASPECT spectrometer and VISTA thermogravimeter will have three months to characterize the asteroidal environment and its surface.

In the Hera-Milani scenario, INAF coordinates all the activities related to VISTA design and development, is responsible for the instruments (EQM, FM and FS) qualification tests for flight and the responsible for instruments and documentation delivery. INAF also manages the activities between Politecnico di Milano and CNR-IIA, i.e. the two other partners involved for VISTA development. The strong Heritage obtained by the team during MarcoPolo-R Mission study (2013-2014), ESA-ITT Contamination Assessment Microbalance (CAM) (2014-2016) whose goal was to develop a new QCM-based device for molecular contamination monitoring in space for the future ESA sensitive payloads and ESA-ITT Contamination Assessment Microbalance for LABoratory (CAMLAB) (2017-2019) Project, whose goal was to develop a new QCM laboratory breadboard for outgassing processes monitoring in thermos-vacuum chamber in laboratory, has been essential for VISTA developing for Hera mission.
