In September 2022, four low-power inexpensive infrasound sensors from Kochi University of Technology were set up near Perth, Australia, to help detect meteoroids by working with existing optical networks. These sensors, using microphones and Raspberry Pi devices, were placed in quiet, well-connected locations and linked with global meteor observation systems.


On 7 November 2022, a fireball was seen by several cameras and also detected by three of the four infrasound sensors. This was the first successful joint detection using the new array. The event allowed scientists to compare infrasound data with optical tracking, helping to better understand how shock waves move through the atmosphere. The results support improved models of meteoroid entry and aid future planetary defense efforts.
