Murrili meteorite's fall and recovery from Kati Thanda
E. K. Sansom, P. A. Bland, M. C. Towner +9
On the 27th of November 2015, at 10:43:45.526 UTC, a fireball was observed across South Australia by ten Desert Fireball Network observatories lasting 6.1 s. A kg meteoroi…
Recreating the OSIRIS-REx Slingshot Manoeuvre from a Network of Ground-Based Sensors
Trent Jansen-Sturgeon, Benjamin A. D. Hartig, Gregory J. Madsen +20
Optical tracking systems typically trade-off between astrometric precision and field-of-view. In this work, we showcase a networked approach to optical tracking using very wide fie…
Observation of metre-scale impactors by the Desert Fireball Network
Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Philip A. Bland, Eleanor K. Sansom +6
The Earth is impacted by 35-40 metre-scale objects every year. These meteoroids are the low mass end of impactors that can do damage on the ground. Despite this they are very poorl…

Hadrien A. R. Devillepoix, Eleanor K. Sansom, Philip A. Bland +8
We describe the fall of the Dingle Dell (L/LL 5) meteorite near Morawa in Western Australia on October 31, 2016. The fireball was observed by six observatories of the Desert Fireba…
3D Meteoroid Trajectories
Eleanor K. Sansom, Trent Jansen-Sturgeon, Mark G. Rutten +7
Meteoroid modelling of fireball data typically uses a one dimensional model along a straight line triangulated trajectory. The assumption of a straight line trajectory has been con…
