Reconstructing meteoroid trajectories using BRAMS data

This paper summarizes our recent efforts in retrieving meteoroid trajectories using data from the forward scatter radio system BRAMS. Two methods are presented, one based only on the knowledge of time delays measured between meteor echoes observed at various receiving stations, and one including information from a radio interferometer in addition to the time delays measurements. For comparison about the quality of trajectory reconstruction, data from the optical CAMS-BeNeLux network are used. A third method is briefly presented assuming the total range traveled by the radio wave is known at all receiving stations. This work contains only preliminary results available at the end of summer 2021. Discussions about improvements are provided at the end of the paper.
