deserve special attention, since these events may
give rise to meteorites. Thus, although most meteoroids
impacting our atmosphere ablate completely,
some fireball events may produce, under favourable
conditions, a non-zero terminal mass. The identification
of the parent bodies in the Solar System of these
meteoroids is of a paramount importance in meteor
science, since this allows establishing the likely
sources of these materials. For this purpose a continuous
monitoring of meteor and fireball activity over
Spain and neighbouring areas is being performed in
the framework of the SPanish Meteor Network
(SPMN). In addition, meteor spectroscopy can provide
chemical information about meteoroids ablating in the
atmosphere. With this aim, the SMART project was
developed (acronym for Spectroscopy of Meteoroids
in the Atmosphere by means of Robotic Techniques).
This work focuses on the preliminary analysis of a
deep-penetrating sporadic fireball event recorded over
the south of Spain on Dec. 5, 2013. Its emission spectrum
is also presented. The likely source of the meteoroid
is discussed on the basis of an orbital analysis.},
