Meteorite orbits are calculated based on an analysis of meteorite scattering patterns, and orbital elements of 14 meteorites are determined. The method of trajectory azimuth determination is used, based on a formalization of the phenomena of atmospheric sorting of fragments. The velocity and height in fragmentation point are unambiguously selected using the conditions of destruction, which allow the estimation of the destructive flow strength. Accuracies of 1-2 km/s are obtained for velocities of atmospheric entry. From the data, three of the orbits are found to be analogous to Asten asteroid orbits, one is of comet type, and the remainder are Apollo-like asteroid orbits.
