The moon is wrapped into a dust enveloped produced by hypervelocity impacts of micrometeoroids or interstellar grains. A more or less constant flux of fast projectiles strikes the lunar surface, produces secondary material and a fraction of it leaves the surface forming the dust envelope. The ejecta particles populating the dust envelope carry precious information about the composition of lunar surface, the properties of the regolith, as well as about the impactor flux itself. Here we discuss the spatial distribution of Lunar ejecta in the vicinity of the moon. We also present our model calculations for the evolution of the electro-static charge carried on the grain.
