Attention is centered on cosmic dust measures made by sensors on Pioneers 8 and 9 in Earth-like orbits. The conclusion follows Zook and Berg that the particles are largely “β-meteoroids,” interplanetary impact debris expelled by solar radiation pressure. An analysis of periodic comet orbits and comets observed during the missions failed to yield correlations, except possibly for debris from Comet Encke. A treatment of β-meteoroids from this stream is presented.
