Scientific paper

The origin of impactors which have caused the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) is not quite clear. In various researches, the preference was given both to stony bodies and to comets. The deficiency of lunar vapour condensate found recently can impose some constraints on the nature of impactors. Estimates of condensate masses, based on numerical simulations of the impacts on the Moon, show that the deficiency of condensate agrees with recent suppositions that comets prevailed in the flux of LHB projectiles.
