Recording of the influence of the flux of high-velocity 
particles in the regime of superdeep penetration on the operating 
parameters of microcircuits placed behind a thick-walled obstacle 
is reported for the first time. It is proposed that this effect is 
possible in collision of a micrometeorite flux with a spacecraft, 
which can have an effect on the operation of its computer equipment.
