Abstract
The conception of a multiple thin foil sensor has been investigated and is suggested as a very valuable tool for the accumulation of data over long exposure periods on the lunar surface. Data will lead to the evaluation of specific parameters of the meteor environment, of the solar wind spectrum and of the overall environmental erosion rates from both impact and sputtering.
