Abstract
We have begun a numerical investigation on the orbital evolution of small asteroids originally located in the main belt. Our framework of work consists of three parts: (1) Carrying out numerical integrations of particles injected into some resonances in the main belt. (2) Estimate of the impact ratio of the fragments on the Moon. (3) Creating a synthetic crater record assuming a size distribution of the asteroids, and comparing it with the real lunar crater record.
