The results showed where LL type chondrites originate in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. [34] In 2012, the Novato meteorite that generated sonic booms was detected by CAMS, [35] and retrieved by local resident Lisa Webber following publication of tracking information. The meteorite was identified as a L6 type chondrite fragmental ...
Few meteorites are large enough to create large impact craters. Instead, they typically arrive at the surface at their terminal velocity and, at most, create a small pit. NWA 859 iron meteorite showing effects of atmospheric ablation The impact pit made by a 61.9-gram Novato meteorite when it hit the roof of a house on 17 October 2012.
The Desert Fireball Network (DFN) is a network of cameras in Australia.It is designed to track meteoroids entering the atmosphere, and aid in recovering meteorites.It currently operates 50 autonomous cameras, spread across Western and South Australia, including Nullarbor plain, WA wheatbelt, and South Australian desert, covering an area of 2.5 million km 2.

The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project is a collaboration of the United States Air Force, NASA, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory for the systematic detection and tracking of near-Earth objects.
Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) was a program run by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, surveying the sky for near-Earth objects.NEAT was conducted from December 1995 until April 2007, at GEODSS on Hawaii (Haleakala-NEAT; 566), as well as at Palomar Observatory in California (Palomar-NEAT; 644).
