NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office (MEO) produces an annual meteor shower forecast in order to help spacecraft operators assess the risk posed by meteoroid streams. Previously, this forecast focused on the International Space Station and therefore reported meteoroid fluxes and enhancement factors at an orbital altitude of 400 km. This paper presents an updated forecast algorithm that has an improved calculation of the flux enhancement produced by showers and can calculate fluxes at any selected Earth or lunar orbital altitude. Finally, we discuss and generate forecasted fluxes for the 2018 Draconid meteor shower, which is expected to produce meteoroid flux enhancements near the Sun-Earth L1 and L2 Lagrange points but not at Earth.

  1. Twin Impact Lunar Telescope network: Lunar Impact Flash observations of the 2025 Geminids

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The first TILT station caught 53 candidate lunar impact flashes during the 2025 Geminids, confirmed 11, and proposed using even unconfirmed single-station flashes for future lunar seismic correlation.
