Mission Name: Cosmos 111The piezoelectric micrometeoroid detector was designed to measure the flux of micrometeoroids in cislunar space and in orbit around the Moon. The piezoelectric pickups are fastened on the satellite's envelope. The area sensitive to micrometeoroid impacts constituted about a square meter. Micrometeoroids of mass down to 0.01 microgram could be detected.
