3. BEACON

4. Network of radio receiving stations
+ Jean-Louis
Future stations :
Genk
Leuze
Seneffe
Lille?

5. Main scientific goals
Trajectories  1 student from ULB + Allick Nelo from EPHEC
Meteoroid fluxes
automatic detection (PE & 2 students from EPHEC)
Observability function (SC, CV)
Properties of meteoroid  analysis of meteor profiles (speed, deceleration, ionisation, mass, etc…)

6. Additional scientific goals
VLF emissions  search for VLF / VHF conjugated events in Humain (with F. Darrouzet)
Detection and small-scale structures of solar flares (with ROB)
Properties of the upper thermosphere (wind velocities, temperature, etc… with RMI)

7. Meteor radar in Dourbes
BISA
Goal : study of meteors, comparison of fluxes with forward & back scatter systems
Status : preliminary design done, material is being procured, work should start in summer 2012

8. Access to the BRAMS data

9. Creation of the spectrograms
Software developed by EG to automatically create spectrograms from WAV files (replace Spectrum Lab)
Still a few problems with data from several stations

10. Whistler observations
BISA project
Goal: detect Whistler waves with a VLF antenna in Humain
Part of an international project AWDANet (Automatic Whistler Detector and Analyzer system’s network)
Status : system operational, 3 months of data during last year. Less whistlers than at other AWDANet stations.
