Examination of surfaces recovered from space indicates a high flux of small particles of natural as well as of man-made origins. In this paper, a model of small orbital debris particles is presented and impact distributions resulting from this model are derived and discussed. In order to understand the observed impacts on LDEF, general relationships between particle orbits and crater distributions over the LDEF surfaces are analyzed. After comparison of modeling results with observational data, a modification of the debris model is proposed which fits the measurement favorably.
