Measurements of the 10Be and 26Al contents of ALHA 81005 constrain the length and conditions of its exposure to cosmic rays. Calculations based on one-step irradiation models imply that the time spent by this object in space is shorter than that spent by most 'asteroidal' meteorites. On the other hand the results are readily consistent with a lunar origin for ALHA 81005.
