Meteorienteer fireball tracker allows observers to create eye-witness reports with their portable devices. The application integrates to a Finnish fireball tracking system Taivaanvahti.fi. It will be later integrated to AMS database. The application uses device sensors, camera and location tools to eliminate human observation errors. Sensor-aided reporting leaves very little for user to fill in and enables effortless user experience. Now anyone can contribute to meteorite tracking challenge.

This project is solving the “Catch a Meteor” Tracker challenge.
