Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The spacecraft that captured particles believed to have come from the interstellar medium (ISM) is the Stardust spacecraft. It was designed to capture dust samples from the coma of comet Wild 2, and during its mission also captured samples from the ISM. The other options listed are not specifically designed to capture particles from the ISM. Chandra and Hubble are telescopes designed to observe objects in space, Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is designed to study the boundary of the solar system, and Voyager is designed to explore the outer reaches of the solar system.
