On the developmente of new viedeo stations to monitor meteorite-droppimg events over Spain

Abstract

The SPanish Meteor and Fireball Network (SPMN) is an interdisciplinary project involving several universi- ties and research centres with the aim to study meteor and fireball events occurring over Spain and the bordering countries [1]. Large fireballs can be the precursors of meteorite falls and, so, the establishment of a network of detection systems is very con- venient in order to increase the chance of meteorite recovery by tracking their atmospheric trajectories and predicting the corre- sponding landing sites. To do this it is necessary to record the luminous trail from at least two different locations.
