Spectra libraries created with the LILBID experiment will be a vital tool for inferring the composition of ice grains from mass spectra recorded by both past and future impact ionization mass spectrometers (e.g. the SUrface Dust Analyzer (SUDA) onboard NASA's Europa Clipper Mission or detectors on a future Enceladus Mission).
