Sudden enhancements in responses recorded by micrometeoroid detectors flown on spacecrafts have been repeatedly attributed to encounters with streams of cometary debris similar to, or identical with, the meteor streams known from ground-based observations. Por measurements made in the Earth-Moon environment, spacecraft effects, atmospheric fragmentation of larger particles, and possibly lunar ejecta can be misinterpreted as interplanetary streams. For deep space observations it is necessary to inquire whether a compact dust stream can persist under the dispersive and destructive effects which increase rapidly with decreasing particle size.
