论文摘要
上下文:直到最近,设计用于监视全球火球的相机网络还没有完全自动化,这意味着如果陨石跌落,恢复运动很少立即立即进行。这是一个重要的限制因素,因为必须迅速回收最脆弱的陨石以避免其改变。目的:火球恢复和行星际观察网络(FRIPON)科学项目旨在克服这一限制。该网络包括一个完全自动化的摄像头和无线电网络,这些相机和无线电网络部署在大部分的西欧和一小部分加拿大。截至今天,它由150台摄像机和25个欧洲广播电台组成,覆盖约150万平方公里。
Context: Until recently, camera networks designed for monitoring fireballs worldwide were not fully automated, implying that in case of a meteorite fall, the recovery campaign was rarely immediate. This was an important limiting factor as the most fragile - hence precious - meteorites must be recovered rapidly to avoid their alteration. Aims: The Fireball Recovery and InterPlanetary Observation Network (FRIPON) scientific project was designed to overcome this limitation. This network comprises a fully automated camera and radio network deployed over a significant fraction of western Europe and a small fraction of Canada. As of today, it consists of 150 cameras and 25 European radio receivers and covers an area of about 1.5 million square kilometers.
