Subject: Meteor Storms & satellites
This is in response to posted query re: meteors and satellites....
I just came across a scientific paper (posted on the web) addressing
this
very issue... Its a link from Mike Boschat's (very cool) ASTRONOMY
WEB-PAGE. The paper is entitled "Meteor Storms: An assessment of
satellite
impact probabilities" and was presented atthe 9th CASI Conference of
Astronautics, Ottawa, Canada.... For the more mathematically inclined,
within the text of the paper, there is a link to a briefer document
giving statistical and mathematical development of impact probabilties
using
Leonid quantities for mass, velocity, distribution index, etc.
The main paper is at following URL:
http//leroy.cc.ureginadot ca/~astro/Leonids/Leo_2.html
Looking forward to those Leonids...
