Summary:We report observational results of the Lyrid meteor shower observed by the double-station all-sky video system on the night of 2009 April 21/22 at the Astronomical and Geophysical Observatory of the Comenius University in Modra and Arboretum, Tesárske Mlynany, Slovakia. This observation was the first test of double stations and orbit determination method within the frame of the new Slovak Video Meteor Network (SVMN). We present the whole set of 17 observed orbits of Lyrids as well as the five most precise orbits in detail form. A comparison with the known datasets, precise photographic IAU MDC and SonotaCo video orbits, demonstrate quite good consistency and similar quality.
