Context . Observations of meteors in the Earth’s atmosphere offer a unique tool for determining flux meteoroids that are too small to be detected by direct telescopic observations. Although these objects routinely observed from ground-based facilities, such as meteor and fireball networks, space-based instruments come with notable advantages have potential achieve broad uniform exposure. Aims In this paper, we describe first observations events Mini-EUSO, very wide field-of-view telescope...
