dc.description.abstract

Planetary science is limited by the scarcity of extraterrestrial samples of known origin. Fireball camera networks can provide these in the form of meteorites with known pre-atmospheric entry orbits. Here, a new digital fireball observatory implementing a novel timing technique is described. This design has enabled the Desert Fireball Network to cover a third of Australia, recover two meteorites with orbits and observe more than a dozen additional meteorite dropping fireballs.
