Primary goals of the MUSES-A HITEN mission are to verify technologies and techniques required for lunar and planetary missions in the near future. One of the objectives was an experiment related with the detection and the measurement of mass, velocity and crude flight direction of micrometeroid particles with a Miniaturized Dust Detector (MDC). The experiment set up, the measuring principle and the results of two year operation are discussed; preliminary results show the cosmic dust flux versus time, particle velocity and mass; the spatial and directional distributions are presented as well as the orbital flight velocities of the particles. Space debris measurements are planned with the MDC on board of the microsatellite BREM-SAT. The two main objectives of this future mission are outlined.
