Scientific paper

The simulation has shown that the regolith layers several hundred meters thick can be formed on the small satellites of planets of Phobos and Deimos type providing that almost all the material lost at meteorite impacts return to the satellite. The existence of a global layer on Deimos that filled the craters for the depth of about 5 m can be explained by the crater presence of diameter of about 4 km and the age of less than 350 Myr on its hemisphere almost unstudied. Dust belts with dust concentration by three orders greater than round the earth can exist in the region of satellite orbits.
