Scientific paper

The authors estimate the mass of dust particles whose spectra were measured by the PUMA-1 and -2 instruments. The total set of spectra of each instrument was divided into groups according to the analog signals measured at the moment of dust impact on the target. Absolute mass for each group was determined by comparing the distribution obtained with data from the SP-2 dust counter. It was determined that particles recorded by the PUMA-1 instrument have mass in the range 5·1017 to 5·10-12g, while particles recorded by the PUMA-2 instrument have mass in the range 2·10-16 to 5·10-12g. The dependence of dust properties on mass has also been examined.
