A guide to using meteoroid-environment models for experiment and spacecraft design applicationsA method was derived for transforming a meteoroid flux, defined relative to the earth and expressed as a function of meteoroid mass, velocity, and mass density into a meteoroid flux expressed as a function of penetration thickness (or some other parameter) on a moving spacecraft at some particular distance from the earth. The procedure for performing the transformation is summarized and an example is discussed.
