Observational planning for the 2026 August 5 Falcon 9 Upper Stage lunar impact
Benjamin Fernando, Jennifer Heldmann, Bill Grey +20
On 2026 August 5, at approximately 06:35 UT, a spent Falcon 9 upper stage will impact the lunar surface near Einstein Crater. This event will occur on sunlit terrain near the easte…
The Golden Meteorite Fall: Fireball Trajectory, Orbit and Meteorite Characterization
P. G. Brown, P. J. A. McCausland, A. R Hildebrand +26
The Golden (British Columbia, Canada) meteorite fall occurred on Oct 4, 2021 at 0534 UT with the first recovered fragment (1.3 kg) landing on an occupied bed. The meteorite is an u…
Direct measurement of decimeter-sized rocky material in the Oort cloud
Denis Vida, Peter G. Brown, Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix +10
The Oort cloud is thought to be a reservoir of icy planetesimals and the source of long-period comets (LPCs) implanted from the outer Solar System during the time of giant planet f…
The Hamburg Meteorite Fall: Fireball trajectory, orbit and dynamics
P. G. Brown, D. Vida, D. E. Moser +10
The Hamburg (H4) meteorite fell on January 17, 2018 at 01:08 UT approximately 10km North of Ann Arbor, Michigan. More than two dozen fragments totaling under one kilogram were reco…
Meteor shower forecasting in near-Earth space
Althea V. Moorhead, Auriane Egal, Peter G. Brown +2
NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office (MEO) produces an annual meteor shower forecast in order to help spacecraft operators assess the risk posed by meteoroid streams. Previously, th…
The Draconid meteoroid stream 2018: prospects for satellite impact detection
Auriane Egal, Paul Wiegert, Peter G. Brown +3
Predictions of the 2018 Draconid activity at the Earth and the Sun-Earth L1 and L2 Lagrange points are presented. Numerical simulations of the meteoroids' ejection and evolution fr…
Simultaneous Optical and Meteor Head Echo measurements using the Middle Atmosphere Alomar Radar System (MAARSY): Data collection and preliminary analysis
Peter Brown, Gunter Stober, Carsten Schult +3
The initial results of a two year simultaneous optical-radar meteor campaign are described. Analysis of 105 double-station optical meteors having plane of sky intersection angles g…
Meteor Shower Detection with Density-Based Clustering
Glenn Sugar, Althea Moorhead, Peter Brown +1
We present a new method to detect meteor showers using the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise algorithm (DBSCAN; Ester et al. 1996). DBSCAN is a modern clu…
The Flux of Kilogram-Sized Meteoroids from Lunar Impact Monitoring
Robert Suggs, Danielle Moser, William Cooke +1
The flashes from meteoroid impacts on the Moon are useful in determining the flux of impactors with masses as low as a few tens of grams. A routine monitoring program at NASA's Mar…
