Abstract The atoms found in the lunar exosphere come mainly from the interactions of solar photons and solar wind with the lunar regolith. However, meteoroid bombardment can also be an important contributor during main meteor showers, on the night side of the Moon, and when the Moon is inside Earth magnetosphere. In this work the velocity distributions and the column densities of metal atoms associated with meteoroid impact are estimated. A technique for the spectroscopic study of species of impact origin is proposed.
