Abstract
A brief description is given of the instrumentation, the facilities, and the patrol technique used by the NASA Langley Research Center Faint Meteor Spectra Patrol. A classification of 500 meteor spectra obtained in the first 2-1/2 years of the patrol is given. The general characteristics of “typical” spectra are discussed and preliminary conclusions drawn. Examples of unusual spectra are briefly described.Keywords
