  On 5th December 2020 at 17:28 UTC, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's
Hayabusa-2 sample return capsule came back to the Earth. It re-entered the
atmosphere over South Australia, visible for 53 seconds as a fireball from near
the Northern Territory border toward Woomera where it landed in the the Woomera
military test range. A scientific observation campaign was planned to observe
the optical, seismo-acoustic, radio and high energy particle phenomena
associated with the entry of an interplanetary object. A multi-institutional
collaboration between Australian and Japanese universities resulted in the
deployment of 49 instruments, with a further 13 permanent observation sites.
The campaign successfully recorded optical, seismo-acoustic and spectral data
for this event which will allow an in depth analysis of the effects produced by
interplanetary objects impacting the Earth's atmosphere. This will allow future
comparison and insights to be made with natural meteoroid objects.
