Scientific paper

A model of the zodiacal cloud is used to evaluate the effects of rotational bursting on interplanetary dust particles caused by the interaction of solar radiation pressure with the irregular surface geometry of the particles. The effectiveness of this mechanism is evaluated using several values for the effective moment arm and tensile strength of the particles. Due to repeated bursting, it is shown that particles spiraling in from the asteroid belt by the Poynting-Robertson effect do not penetrate inside 1.2 AU. Spin rate stabilization under the effect of magnetic damping is found to depend critically on the initial heliocentric distance of the particle and on its radius.
