The Effect of Ballistic Parameters of Meteoroids on Their Destruction in the Earth’s Atmosphere

The problems of the motion and destruction of large cosmic bodies under the influence of thermal and force loads in the Earth’s atmosphere are considered. Based on the modified physical theory of meteors, a mathematical model of the trajectories of the motion of such bodies during the penetration of the planet’s atmosphere is constructed. A computational experiment is carried out for known meteoroids selected as the reference ones in order to determine the effect of the ballistic parameters of the entry of these meteoroids (the angle of inclination of the trajectory to the Earth’s surface and velocity) on the process of their destruction in the Earth’s atmosphere. It is shown that these characteristics have a significant influence on the motion and destruction of cosmic bodies.
