Precise observations of infrasound and seismic motions excitedby shockwaves at the Hayabusa reentry

We carried out array observations with infrasound/seismic and optical sensors and obtained those records at the Hayabusa reentry in Woomera, Australia. We estimated the source location of shockwaves generated by the reentry from the analyses of those records. The estimated overpressure values of the shockwaves are twice larger than those from a traditional theory, indicating that there are some problems on the assumptions of the traditional theory. We define a transfer function between the pressure perturbations and ground motions, and quantify a coupling process between atmosphere and ground surface.
