Another FRIPON camera - in Denekamp

2018-11-09 - Today we have installed the 4th Dutch FRIPON camera. It will be hosted by A. Tukkers (Cosmos Sterrenwacht) in Denekamp. FRIPON, the Fireball Recovery and InterPlanetary Observation Network, consists of a network of all-sky cameras that monitor the night sky for fireballs. Special software will compute the orbit of the fireball, i.e. where the object came from. It will also predict where possible meteorites would be found on ground. The network aims at increasing the number of found meteorites with known orbits.
