Triangulation and Trajectory Model - NickRowell/asteria GitHub Wiki

What kind of model do we fit to the meteor trail? Something more sophisticated than the 'plane-intersection' method certainly. Essentially we need to parameterize the direction to the meteor as a function of time. Do we write an XML/AVI file to enable interfacing with UFOCapture etc?

Model of 3D meteor path

Ballistic with aerodynamic drag? Fragmentation? Uncertainty? Asymptotic trajectory gives orbit.

Landing site estimation

Need wind data somehow. Also terrain map etc, maybe by interfacing with Google maps...? Is a 3D topographic map available?
