Title: Meteor signature interpretation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/441764· OSTI ID:441764

Meteor signatures contain information about the constituents of space debris and present potential false alarms to early warnings systems. Better models could both extract the maximum scientific information possible and reduce their danger. Accurate predictions can be produced by models of modest complexity, which can be inverted to predict the sizes, compositions, and trajectories of object from their signatures for most objects of interest and concern.
