Scientific paper

Spaceborne (Intercosmos-14) and ground-based radio observations of micrometeoroids are analyzed. It is found that submicron-size meteoroids are presented in the observed dust shell; the flux density of meteoroids with mass not less than 6 x 10 to the -14th near the earth at heights of about 1000 km is about two to five times the value for interplanetary space. The continuous fragmentation of large meteoroids probably occurs in the upper atmosphere, with part of the matter escaping the earth in geocentric and possibly heliocentric orbits. There is a correlation between meteoroid flux densities in a wide range of masses, which points to a single source for meteoroids of a given range.
