In the present paper, we analyze disintegration of a small-size cosmic body (SSCB) in interactions with the planetary atmosphere in the framework of the concept of a two-stage process. The first and second stages of this process are, respectively, the fragmentation of an SSCB and the scattering of the fragments produced. The theoretical model of fragmentation has been presented by the authors previously (see [1]) and attracted the attention of a number of investigators [2, 3]. In the present paper, we analyze the disintegration of an SSCB and consider the stage of scattering of its fragments accompanied by the formation of the primary crater field on a planet's surface.
