(meteorobs) Musings on Sentinel objectives.

[stange]

As Ed noted earlier, it is my understanding that obtaining Meteorite 
specimens for analysis was the original purpose of the Sentinel program.

But since the abundance of Antarctic specimens, it appears to me that the 
Sentinel program has now evolved from that primary objective, to an 
objective of identifying more precisely, the orbits of present meteor 
streams and even more aggressively, the detection and orbits of new 
pontentially dangerous earth crossing streams of Comet origin.

The simultaneous accelerated search for Asteroids and Comets world wide in 
the last 3 years is readily apparent.

IMHO of course.
