Meteoroids: Flux Densities

Scientific paper

The retrieval of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) in January 1990 provided a vast amount of information concerning interplanetary meteoroids and space debris particles. An earlier survey of the flux data derived from impacts on LDEF experimental surfaces pointing in different directions and on the LDEF spacecraft itself has been updated by the incorporation of more recent observations. Flux data and ratios significant to modelling are calculated for particles able to penetrate equivalent thicknesses of aluminium ranging from 1 μm to 680 μm. These are compared with predictions of the number of penetrations of meteoroids and space debris particles through different LDEF faces calculated by Drolshagen using the ESABASE analysis tool.
