Abstract | The return home of the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft in September 2023 marked only the fifth time that an artificial object entered the Earth's atmosphere at interplanetary velocities. Although rare, such events serve as valuable analogs for natural meteoroid re‐entries; enabling study of hypersonic dynamics, shock wave generation, and acoustic‐to‐seismic coupling. Here, we report on the signatures recorded by a dense (100 m scale) 11‐station array located almost directly underneath the capsule’s point of peak atmospheric heating in northern Nevada. Seismic data are presented, which allow inferences to be made about the shape of the shock wave’s footprint on the surface, the capsule's trajectory, and its flight parameters. |
