Requirements

  • Sensitive to fireballs (mag -4) with a SNR of at least 10dB
  • Will provide calibrated brightness in apparent magnitude without observations from other sensors or absolute magnitude with trajectory data
  • Bandwidth from DC to at least 1kHz, but ideally capable of more
  • Low power (able to add to a DFNEXT observatory without changing power system)
  • Less than $1000 per station
  • Able to be used by a wide variety of users as standalone instruments and add-ons for fireball cameras
  • Absolute timing precision that makes sense relative to the sample rate and no worse than the DFN observatories
