Abstract: 

An observation procedure for determination of the nature of detected variations of lunar radio flux is developed. The possibility to detect KA SMART-1 impact radio flash is estimated. We estimated the upper limit of the intensity of the radio flashes produced by collisions of sporadic meteoroids with the Moon as 10-7 JyJ-1 at 3.6 cm.

Keywords: collision of meteoroid with the Moon, radio flash
