The asteroid explorer HAYABUSA reentered into the Earth’s atmosphere on 2010 June 13. We made simultaneous TV (television) observations at seven ground sites in order to calculate the trajectories of HAYABUSA and its sample return capsule (SRC), which both reentered into the atmosphere. Our TV observations showed that, after HAYABUSA reentered the atmosphere, the beginning time of its light emission on video was 13:51:57.4 UT at a height of 101.0 ˙ 0.2 km. The end time was 13:52:42.0 UT at a height of 38.6 ˙ 0.2 km. The initial velocity at
