Scientific paper

The effects of the interplanetary medium on lunar dust grains were studied using a computer program for determining the complex movement of these grains in the lunar regolith due to meteoritic impact. This program was adapted to calculate several effects depending on the grains' depth in the regolith, resulting from their exposure to the solar wind and solar cosmic rays. The program was compared to an existing similar program in the U.S., resulting in an improvement of both. In particular, spallation effects in the lunar soil by galactic cosmic rays are now accounted for. Also, new methods have been proposed to obtain a better use of solar wind and solar cosmic ray effects in lunar dust grains.
