Live Radio Meter Detection
Using an RTL-SDR dongle, my setup monitors the GRAVES radar—a French space surveillance system.
💡 How It Works: When a meteor enters the Earth’s atmosphere and passes through the GRAVES radar beam, it reflects radio waves, creating a detectable signal—even in cloudy weather or daylight. These signals appear as distinctive meteor traces on the radio spectrum.
📊 Real-Time Detection: The spectrum image on this page shows detected meteors in action. Although sometimes there is interference lines that cause false detections. Sometimes you can also pick up aircraft and space junk too.

Monthly meteor counts
The collective data for the month of radio meteor detections from the GRAVES radar is collated by the Radio Meteor Bulletin. Observers across the globe feed their data into the RMOB to allow analysis and comparison. Whilst the numbers are dwindling over the years, the information gathered is still used for meteor research.

Aurora Camera
Currently in test phase as I trial out cameras and set ups for a northerly view of the Aurora from North Wales.
