Create artificial meteor shower

Create artificial meteor shower.

Such a performance is expected to cost about $ 9 million and ALE is seeking sponsors for this idea. If all goes well, the test will be carried out in 2018. Hironori Sahara, aerospace engineer at ALE said: " Artificial meteor shower not only serves entertainment purposes but also serves as a tool. atmospheric observation aids. "
