FRIPON is a fully automated network of optical all-sky cameras monitoring meteoroid entries into the Earth's atmosphere. Using these data, we present preliminary results on the velocity distribution and the fireball flux density of sporadics in the mass range of approximately 10⁻³ to 10¹ kg. We also discuss the methodology, including the applied de-biasing.

Knowledge of the flux, composition, and physical characteristics of natural objects entering Earth’s atmosphere is critical for understanding Solar System formation and evolution [1], characterising the population of near-Earth objects (NEOs) [2], modelling atmospheric survivability [3], and linking meteorites to their source regions [4, 5]. The only comprehensive observational estimate of...
