Lowell ObservatoryCameras for All-Sky Meteor Surveillance (LO-CAMS)
Fireball cameras image meteoroids as they burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Multiple camera stations can triangulate meteor trails to provide pre-impact orbits and, for big enough events, predictions for the location of meteorite falls. CAMS (Cameras for All-Sky Meteor Surveillance) is a network of fireball camera stations initiated by Peter Jenniskens from the SETI Institute. CAMS is a highly successful system with more than 200,000 meteor orbits measured over its first 4 years of operation. We are contributing to the CAMS network with fireball stations located at Lowell Observatory.
