The Fireball Recovery and InterPlanetary Observation Network (FRIPON French: Réseau de Récupération de Boules de feu (bolides) et d'Observation Interplanétaire is fully automated network of cameras and radios based in France that monitors the sky for fireball meteors.[1] Using FRIPON, scientists can determine the trajectory of incoming fireballs and where they land, guiding recovery operations of any surviving debris.[2] Currently, the FRIPON network operates across Western Europe and small sections of Canada, consisting of 150 cameras and 25 radio receivers that in total cover an area of nearly 1,500,000 square kilometres (580,000 sq mi). Formed in 2016, it is a collaboration between the Paris Observatory, the French National Centre for Scientific Research and the National Museum of Natural History[3] and has detected nearly 4000 meteoroids since 2020.[1]
