METHOD OF DETERMINING LOCATION OF METEOR BODY Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01S17/00 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: method involves determining the location of a meteor body, based on measuring the distance to a meteor body. In the period between measurements of the distance to a meteor body, the location of the meteor body is determined by integrating the body velocity measured by the Doppler frequency shift of the signal reflected by the body taking into account the relativistic correction. When the meteor body approaches the observer, the relativistic correction to the value of the body velocity is determined in accordance with the expression where ν_r - the velocity calculated from the results of measuring the Doppler frequency shift of the signal reflected by the body, c is the light velocity, when the meteor body is removed from the observer, the relativistic correction to the value of the body velocity is determined in accordance with the expression

EFFECT: reducing errors when approaching a meteor body and increasing the probability of its interception.
