Tonight @ 8 autumn 2024 programme

| August 30, 2024

The RSGB autumn Tonight @ 8 programme starts Monday, 2 September 2024 when Brian Coleman, G4NNS gives an update on the Meteor Beacon Project, which is a cooperation between the worlds of amateur radio and astronomy.

The first phase of this project was completed in May 2022 when the UK meteor beacon GB3MBA went on the air from the Sherwood Observatory of the Mansfield and Sutton Astronomical Society.

It enabled studies of meteor events over the UK using simple equipment, and made possible a range of STEM projects featuring radio and astronomy.

The second phase of the project—which Brian will describe in the presentation—is to develop a network of receivers streaming their data via a central server for detailed study of individual meteor events.

You can watch and ask questions live on the RSGB YouTube channel or special BATC channel.
