GROUND BASED INSTRUMENT
PRISMA
Prima Rete Italiana per la Sorveglianza sistematica di Meteore ed Atmosfera (PRISMA) involves the creation of an Italian network of all-sky cameras for observing bright meteors (fireballs and bolides), with the aim of determining the orbits of the objects that cause them and accurately defining the areas where fragments may fall, in order to recover the meteorites.
