Scientific paper

Experiments were performed to characterize the physical processes occurring during the destruction of a meteor body in the atmosphere. Iron, basalt, and ceramic component specimens were exposed to a thermal flux of up to 50 MW/sq m and pressures up to 0.1 MPa in a plasmatron chamber, and fragments were collected as they broke off. A log-normal law described the size distribution of the fragments in relation to a destruction probability. Account was taken of size distributions due to meteor breakup, thermal forces, and atomization of the melt. Peaks in the particle size distribution were found to coincide with the vicinity of the maxima in the log-normal curves.
