The Desert Fireball Network is a network of cameras in Australia. It is designed to track meteoroids entering the atmosphere, and recover meteorites. It currently operates 50 [1]autonomous cameras, spread across Western Australia and South Australia: Nullarbor plain, WA wheatbelt, and South Australian desert. The locations of the stations were chosen to facilitate meteorite searching.
