We perform three-dimensional N-body integrations of the final stages of terrestrial planet formation. We report the results of 10 simulations beginning with 22-50 initial planetary embryos spanning the range 0.5-1.5 AU, each with an initial mass of 0.04-0.13M β . Collisions are treated as inelastic
from a ring source, or that the ablation of micrometeoroids leads dominantly to different species at Saturn (H 2 O) and Jupiter (CO). Finally, the SWAS H 2 O spectra do not appear fully consistent with the ISO data and should be confirmed by future ODIN and Herschel observations.
