| Aims & Objectives |
Collection of visual, telescopic, photographic, video and radio
observations of meteor activity on a routine basis, at all times of
the year and not only when major shower activity is expected. The data
add to a long-term archive of information covering activity,
allowing long-term trends to be studied. Photographic and video
observations yield valuable positional and orbital
data. The Section also collects fireball reports for the British
Fireball Survey (originally a joint exercise with the now defunct
Artificial Satellite Section)
