73. Orbits of sporadic meteors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
A survey of sporadic meteor orbits has been made using a spaced receiver technique. The apparatus consists of three receivers spaced on the ground by about 4 km. The received signals are brought together by radio links and displayed on a single film. In this way both diffraction pattern and the time delay between the diffraction patterns received at the different stations can be measured. From this the velocity and the direction of motion of the meteor can be calculated. The range of the echo and the local sidereal time are also recorded on the film.
