GROUND BASED NETWORK
PRISMA
First Italian Network for the Systematic Surveillance of Meteors and the Atmosphere (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.
