Scientific paper

This work reevaluates the lunar micrometeoroid flux and quantifies meteoroid collision hazards on the moon on the basis of the recent data obtained for the Earth by Love and Brownlee (1993). These authors, by examining hypervelocity impact craters on the space-facing end of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) satellite, which operated from April 1984 to January 1990, determined the terrestrial mass flux and the distribution of micrometeoroids in the submillimeter size range.
