====== Bolidozor System ======
Bolidozor represents a cooperative network project, which uses technical equipment owned by volunteer observers, who operate the detecting and measuring stations.

The core of the system is made of a network of meteor radio detectors that are gradually upgraded and extended to contain new measurement methods. The aim of the project is to measure the parameters of meteor flybys through the atmosphere, to calculate their dark flight and to locate the meterites in their impact ellipse.

===== Radio detectors =====

{{ :cs:rmds:meteor_detection.png?600 |Radio meteor detection principle.}}

Our primary device used to detect meteors is a radio detector [[en:rmds|RMDS]] built using the [[http://www.mlab.cz/|MLAB]] system.

===== Visual detectors  =====

Visual meteor detection is complementary to the radio detection and can supply addition meteor data under the right observation conditions.

[[http://wiki.mlab.cz/doku.php?id=cs:vmds|VMDS]] is used as a visual detection station.

===== Balloon probes =====

Balloon probes stations, currently under development, serve as a supplementary measuring system and should further refine the estimate of the meteor dark flight. So far, only a functional prototype has been built [[http://wiki.mlab.cz/doku.php?id=cs:abl|ABL01A]].
