Abstract
The "Global Meteor Network" is a worldwide project to monitor the entire sky every night, capturing images of meteors and fireballs. This real-time data is generated from small, high-sensitivity, low-cost security camera systems running open source software. Currently no meteor network stations have been established in Pacific Northwest region, leaving a large gap between stations in Alaska and Arizona. We therefore seek funding to build a student-run meteor network station on the UW campus
