“…In the early 2000s, a new discrete quasi-tomographic approach (Sidorov et al 2003) was developed by V. V. Sidorov and S. A. Kalabanov that allowed identification of meteor radiants with much better angular resolution, up to 2 • × 2 • , on the basis of radar observations with goniometric measurements. Such a precision made it possible for the first time in the world to reveal in the sporadic background the presence of very faint meteor clusters with intensities as low as only six events per day (Sidorov et al 2004). Very simple but effective criteria for assigning a group of meteoroids to a single cluster were adopted.…”

This paper presents a brief survey on the history of radar observations of meteors in Kazan from 1950s to present days. Such achievements of Kazan researchers as development and further improvement of original measuring equipment and antenna systems, of observational data processing methods, their contribution to the theory of physics of meteor phenomena and theoretical interpretation of experimental data are highlighted. A particular progress in meteor astronomy has been achieved with a new discrete quasi-tomoghraphic method for faint meteor showers identification that uses goniometer data of meteor radio reflections detected on radar as input data. The current state and new horizons of meteor studies in Kazan are stated.
