AB Very bright deep-penetrating fireballsdeserve special attention, since these events maygive rise to meteorites. Thus, although most meteoroidsimpacting our atmosphere ablate completely,some fireball events may produce, under favourableconditions, a non-zero terminal mass. The identificationof the parent bodies in the Solar System of thesemeteoroids is of a paramount importance in meteorscience, since this allows establishing the likelysources of these materials. For this purpose a continuousmonitoring of meteor and fireball activity overSpain and neighbouring areas is being performed inthe framework of the SPanish Meteor Network(SPMN). In addition, meteor spectroscopy can providechemical information about meteoroids ablating in theatmosphere. With this aim, the SMART project wasdeveloped (acronym for Spectroscopy of Meteoroidsin the Atmosphere by means of Robotic Techniques).This work focuses on the preliminary analysis of adeep-penetrating sporadic fireball event recorded overthe south of Spain on Dec. 5, 2013. Its emission spectrumis also presented. The likely source of the meteoroidis discussed on the basis of an orbital analysis.
