What does BRAMS provide to amateurs?
• Provide all material for free (identical in all stations)
• Access to data from all stations & archive of the data
• Real-time observations to show to the public
• A possibility to educate the public to meteors & radio science (BISA provides posters and articles)
![Page 11: BRAMS: a Belgian Am-Pro collaboration to detect and characterize meteors with radio techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816367550346895dd43eed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
European Planetary Science Congress 2012 – Madrid – 23-28 September 2012
What do amateurs provide to BRAMS ?
• Host of most of BRAMS stations
• Save data locally on hard disks & make a copy on USB sticks (64 GB) sent every month to BISA for archiving
• Electricity bill supported by BRAMS participants
• Multi-stations observations allowing to retrieve meteor trajectories
• Participation to some projects (e.g. automatic detection of meteors in spectrograms)

Summary
o BRAMS is a new tool to observe & characterize meteorso It is the result of an active Pro-Am collaboration with
mutual benefito In the future BRAMS should be extended outside of
Belgium as meteors do know anything about frontiers …
