We have begun an investigation of the orbital evolution of asteroid fragments originating from collisional events in the main belt. Our long-term goal is to compare the collisional probability of those fragments on the terrestrial planets with the detailed crater records on their surfaces. We perform numerical integrations of test particles initially injected into some resonance area in the main asteroid belt, and we obtain the orbital distribution and the decay rate of the population of asteroid fragments which come close to the Earth--Moon system. At this meeting we will present our first results about the dynamics of the asteroid fragments coming from the ν 6 resonance. In the future, we will investigate a wider range of parameters and initial conditions to assess the viability of a collisional event in the asteroid belt as a cause of the late heavy bombardment on the Moon 3.9 Gyr ago
