    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...
