Data from two sets of interplanetary dust detection experiments are analyzed allowing tentative conclusions concerning the nature and origin of the zodiacal cloud to be made. The small meteoroid detection experiment flown on the Earth orbiting satellite Explorer used semiconductor capacitors to detect submicronsized particles. The sensitivity of these detectors was controlled by the dielectric thickness. The SMDE data taken during the time when major meteor showers were visually observed indicate the presence of small shower associated particles. This result shows that comets are an efficient supplier of small dust particles. Analyses of the data from the meteoroid detection experiment and the imaging photopolarimeter aboard Pioneer 10 and 11 is presented and a comparison between the two is discussed.
