AB The development of a network ofmeteor observing stations allows for a continuousmonitoring of meteor phenomena. One of the maingoals of the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) is theanalysis of the physico-chemical properties of meteoroidsfrom multiple station data. This provides usefuldata to improve our knowledge about meteoroidstreams and meteoroids of sporadic origin, so that wecan reach a better understanding of the mechanismsthat deliver these materials to the Earth. In fact, theorbits of large sporadic meteoroids are an importantsource of impact hazard on the surfaces of artificialsatellites. We have started a continuous monitoringprogram in order to get very reliable orbital data ofsuch a stochastic source to be able to improve modelsof the meteoroid flux in the near-Earth environment[1].We currently operate 29 meteor observing stationsin Spain. Most of them employ high-sensitivity CCDvideo devices, although low-scan all-sky CCD camerasare also used. In this context, we have imaged on April17, 2011 a four-station sporadic fireball with an absolutemagnitude of about -7±1. The analysis of this bolideis presented here.
