Description

The asteroid explorer HAYABUSA finally returned to the earth on June 13rd 2010 and the sample return capsule experienced a super-orbital atmospheric reentry. To recover the sample return capsule and to conduct optical measurements, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency organized a ground observation team and conducted optical tracking of the sample return capsule, spectroscopy of the fireball as well as the fireball trail, and measurement of infrasounds and shock waves generated by the fireball. In this article, an overview of the ground observation is presented, and the preliminary results derived from observations are reported.
