Tomsk State University

Abstract: A mathematical model which permits one to calculate a circumlunar cloud of secondary particles by a known meteorite stream on the Moon surface is considered. The cloud characteristics in the sphere of the Moon gravitation are presented. The article gives a review of works executed on the Calculus Department of Tomsk State University in 1977–80.

Keywords: primary meteoroid stream, cratering, secondary particles stream, size, mass, velocity, energy of particles.
