Scientific paper

The orbital relation between meteorites and the latest generation of their parent bodies (assumed to be certain asteroids) is examined. It is shown that asteroids moving along orbits with mean heliocentric distances not exceeding about 1.2 AU constitute the main source of meteorites. Prominent among these asteroids are the Apollo and Amor groups. Gaps at the orbits of earth, Venus, and Mars are observed in the distribution of asteroid-orbit perihelia, and a group of five meteoroids moving along small orbits with aphelia within the orbit of Mars is reported.
