Scientific paper

We undertook a research program to investigate the properties of small objects crossing the orbit of the Earth-Moon system using a unique set of data obtained during the Apollo lunar landing missions with a network of seismic stations on the surface of the Moon. The primary objectives of the study were to find out the nature of these objects, whether they were of cometary or asteroidal origin based on their orbital distributions and seismic effects upon impacts, and then to infer the role these small objects play in the evolution of the solar system. In this final technical report, we briefly summarize the results of this study. Detailed results of the study have been published in a series of papers and a dissertation, which are listed in the PUBLICATIONS section. Abstracts of the published papers and the dissertation are attached as an appendix.
