Recent experimental work (Price, M. C. et. al., LPSC XXXX, #1564, 2009) has shown that the lip-to-lip diameter of hypervelocity impact craters at micron-scales (Dp< 10 microns) is a non-linear function of the impactor's diameter (Dp). We present data for monodisperse silica projectiles impacting aluminium-1100 and elemental aluminium at 6.1 kmsec and discuss the implications of this effect for the Stardust fluence calibration for micron-scale particles (which make up the majority of the impactor flux). Hydrocodes have been used to investigate the potential causes of the phenomena and the results are presented.
