Scientific paper

Experiment E10 on board HELIOS 1 is able to identify velocity and masses from 10 to the minus 17th power to 10 to the minus 6th power gram of interplanetary micrometeorites in the inner solar system (0.3 AU-1AU). The measurements provide information about the dynamics of the dust cloud and indications about the sources and sinks of those particles. Calculations show that detected micrometeorites with mass 10 to the minus 11th power gram represent the dynamic properties known from optical measurements. Smaller particles (mostly on hyperbolic orbits) give rise to the assumption that collisions of larger particles are their source.
