Abstract JEM/MPAC experiments are installed in the outboard platform of “KIBO”. JEM/MPAC is an experiment to capture space debris or micro-meteoroids, and clarify the origin and amount of distribution. Silica-aerogels and Au-plates of MPAC samples were exposed to space for about 8.5 months. This paper presents the distribution, impact velocity, kinetic energy, and flux in impact holes confirmed with these samples.
