Scientific paper

Submicron sized particles released by comets into interplanetary (IP) space are discussed. Sensitive impact detectors on Explorer 46 satellite show large increases in flux during certain meteor streams. The total mass and lifetime of these particles were determined and their electric potential deduced. Space debris, which, in principle, could affect the observations, is showm to be unimportant. A more refined experiment on the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) to settle crucial problems ragarding IP particles is mentioned.
