A thermodynamic approach to modeling the processes of evaporation of lunar and meteorite matter is presented. Comparison of the results of model calculations and experimental data showed high accuracy of the developed approach in the description of thermodynamic properties of melts of lunar and meteorite substance and its behavior at evaporation. The observed regularities of melt evaporation are consistent with the thermodynamic values characterizing the residual melts.
