Abstract Recent hypervelocity studies have been conducted which simulate the collision of interplanetary dust with rocky planetary satellite surfaces. Preliminary flux-mass distributions of micron and submicron ejecta from these hypervelocity impact studies have been determined. Several models of the flux-mass distribution of primary interplanetary dust are used to determine ratios of satellite surface ejecta and primary meteoroid flux-mass distributions. The results are used in a second model to determine the ejecta spatial mass densities near the surface of the satellite.
