 With use of interferometry the direction of target object can be discovered. We intended to use two FITS radio reflexion record for determine of direction to reflection. The radio-observer application has to be extended for simultaneous recording of two two signals from two radios with synchronised Local Oscillator. These two records can be used for calculation of correlation. Finally the direction of reflected signal will be found from this correlation. Student helps community with acquisition of another information from meteor trails records. With use of interferometry the direction of target object can be discovered.

-==== Radio Meteor Crowd Science ==== 
  
-We are looking for programmer who can utilize nowadays technology for crowd science for our project Bolidozor the radio meteor detection network. Some research is needed. The student has to search for existing technologies for Citizen Science (like CrowdCrafting, PyBossa, Zooniverse,...) and then he or she has to program a Citizen Science application for searching for meteors coincidences in records of Bolidozor’s radio meteors database which supports Czech Astronomical Society.+==== Task: Data visualisation system ====
  
-{{ :cs:sdr:pysdr_detector.png?direct&500 |Screen-shot from PySDR visualization software}}+The new measuring stations generates huge amount of data. Generated data should be adequately presented to project audience. But data presentation is huge problem due to abstraction of signals to human.

Now the PySDR has implemented connection to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio|SDR]] by [[http://jackaudio.org/|JACK]]. New connection module for GHPSDR is a task for a student for showing his/her skills.

 A huge database of radio meteor detections exists. There are snapshots in FITS format for each meteor detection which is accessible as files sorted by time. The waterfall visualisation snapshot from each record exists (see picture). It has to be find the same meteor detected by one station in records of other station or stations. Then exact time and other specific parameters of detection has to be determined by human. A huge database of radio meteor detections exists.

 There are a sample of records from two station 50 km away each other. There are two detections of possible identical meteor. Relative shift of this detections from a time mark (horizontal line in signal) has to be found for next computation of meteor trail. Some estimation of region of meteor occurrence can be determined from this measurement. The student will adopt some skills of use of bistatic radar in space science by meteors detection in this project.  There are a sample of records from two station 50 km away each other.
