Abstract Sample return capsules (SRCs) entering Earth’s atmosphere at hypervelocity from interplanetary space are a valuable resource for studying meteor phenomena. The 2023 September 24 arrival of the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer SRC provided an unprecedented chance geophysical observations well-characterized source with known parameters, including timing trajectory. A collaborative effort involving researchers 16 institutions...
Abstract On 24 September 2023, the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer sample return capsule (SRC) entered Earth’s atmosphere after successfully collecting samples from an asteroid. The known trajectory timing of this provided a rare opportunity to strategically instrument sites record geophysical signals produced by because it travelled at hypersonic speeds through atmosphere. We deployed two distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)...
On 24 September 2023, the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) Sample Return Capsule entered Earth's atmosphere after successfully collecting samples from an asteroid. The known trajectory timing of this return provided a rare opportunity to strategically instrument sites record geophysical signals produced by capsule as it traveled at hypersonic speeds through atmosphere. We deployed two optical-fiber distributed acoustic...
