Abstract: Fluxes of mass and dust particles are calculated, which appear in orbit around Mars due to collisions of meteoroids with Phobos and Deimos. Size distributions of dust particles captured in orbit around Mars are determined. Knowledge of parameters of these particles is important when planning the experimental studies on dust in the system of Mars within the framework of the future space missions.

Keywords: future space missions, Mars, Phobos, Deimos, dust particles, dusty plasmas, piezoelectric impact sensor, charge-sensitive grid.
