Abstract
We study the interaction of meteoroids with the Earth’s atmosphere. Based on the physical theory of meteoroids, we develop a model that describes the trajectories of celestial bodies in the Earth’s atmosphere. Our model takes into account the effects of mechanical stress and heat flux that lead to the loss of the material of the meteoroid and its possible destruction. The model also allows us to consider rare instances of the change of the trajectory from descending to ascending, with the meteoroid possibly returning to space. We determine the kinematic conditions and physical parameters of meteoroids required for this unusual behavior. We simulate numerically and analyze the effects of the 1908 Tunguska event.
