Meteoroids form a fundamental and complex part of the Near Earth Space environment.
The Meteoroids 2010 meeting will cover topics related to the origin, nature, evolution
and dynamics of solar system minor bodies, with special emphasis on the study
of micrometer- to meter-sized fragments of comets and asteroids. Oral and poster
contributions are welcome along the themes and sessions outlined in the program
(http://www.cora.nwra.com/Meteoroids2010/Agenda.html).


Abstract submissions are now being accepted. The deadline for submission is January 15^th, 2010.
