Scientific paper

The origin, dispersion mechanisms and evolution of particle streams producing enhanced activity (outburst or storm) of meteoroids are discussed in relation to their effects on artificial satellites and space platforms. A review of the active meteoroids suggests that at least five streams may undergo outburst or storm activity in the next few years. Modern radio techniques not affected by illumination conditions and cloud coverage, improve significantly the detectability of meteor streams. The impact probabilities of storm meteoroids on space platforms in Earth orbit can increase by factors in excess of 102-104 over the sporadic background.
