The contribution to the exosphere of Mercury and the Moon due to meteoritic impacts is still a matter of debate. In particular, in the night side, where the ion sputtering process is negligible, meteoritic impact vaporization is considered to be the major exospheric source process for refractory species. Cloud density calculations and detection probability of meteoroids impact events for objects in the radius range between 1 cm and 1 m was considered in [1]. Detailed thermodynamic calculation of the cloud composition after quenching temperature is reached was considered in [2], but a comprehensive analysis of the meteoritic impact vaporization contribution to the hermean exosphere including condensation of refractory species and formation and photolysis of molecules in the impact-generated cloud was not performed yet. This is what will be done in the following.
