  1. ; ; (, Icarus)
    High-power large-aperture radars have revolutionized meteor science by allowing highly accurate position and velocity estimates to be made from meteor head echoes. This paper describes a new open-source software, MODA, for determining the heliocentric orbital parameters of these meteoroids. We compare MODA with other current methods, both analytical and numerical. We describe our modeling of third-body perturbations and atmospheric drag, as well as solar radiation pressure, which is not taken into account in other works. We verify MODA against results from the literature and use it to compute the orbits for two small particles observed by ALTAIR in 2008.
