Modeling the flight of meteoroid fragments with accounting for rotation [PDF]
Компьютерные исследования и моделирование, 2019 An algorithm for solving the conjugation of aerodynamic and ballistic problems, which is based on the method of modeling with the help of a grid system, has been complemented by a numerical mechanism that allows to take into account the relative movement

Meteoroid structure and fragmentation [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 2019 The physical composition and structure of meteoroids gives us insight into the formation processes of their parent asteroids and comets. The strength of and fundamental grain sizes in meteoroids tell us about the environment in which small solar system bodies formed, and the processes which built up these basic planetary building blocks.

Meteoritic influence on sodium and potassium abundance in the lunar exosphere measured by LADEE
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) orbited the Moon for approximately 6 months, taking data with the Lunar Dust Experiment (LDEX), Ultraviolet‐Visible Spectrometer (UVS), and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (NMS).

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The physical properties of meteoroids producing meteor plasma non-field-aligned irregularities (NFAI) in the Earth’s atmosphere are poorly known. Here we report a complete picture of a fireball and mesospheric NFAI that it produced for the first time ...

Formation, Structure, and Detectability of the Geminids Meteoroid Stream
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The Geminids meteoroid stream produces one of the most intense meteor showers at Earth. It is an unusual stream in that its parent body is understood to be an asteroid, (3200) Phaethon, unlike most streams, which are formed via ongoing cometary activity.

The Sporadic Meteoroid Complex and Spacecraft Risk [PDF]
, 2009 The meteoroid population in near-Earth space is typically broken down into two components: shower meteoroids which orbit in collimated streams, and the older sporadic meteoroids which have been dispersed into a much broader uncollimated distribution of ...

A meteor head echo analysis algorithm for the lower VHF band [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 We have developed an automated analysis scheme for meteor head echo observations by the 46.5 MHz Middle and Upper atmosphere (MU) radar near Shigaraki, Japan (34.85° N, 136.10° E).

Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM): A Meteoroid Model For The Inner Solar System [PDF]
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 2004 In an attempt to overcome some of the deficiencies of existing meteoroid models, NASA’s Space Environments and Effects (SEE) Program sponsored a 3 year research effort at the University of Western Ontario. The resulting understanding of the sporadic meteoroid environment – particularly the nature and distribution of the sporadic sources – were then ...

RADIANTS AND ORBITAL DISTRIBUTION OF TV FAINT SPORADIC METEORS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2018 Double station meteor observation using TV CCD unintensified techniques was started in 2013 in Nikolaev astronomical observatory (RI NAO). During observational campaign in 2013-2016 catalog containing 1055 meteoroid orbits has been obtained.
