Abstract:

The asteroid impact near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk on 15 February 2013 was the largest airburst on Earth since the 1908 Tunguska event, causing a natural disaster in an area with a population exceeding one million. Because it occurred in an era with modern consumer electronics, field sensors, and laboratory techniques, unprecedented measurements were made of the impact event and the meteoroid that caused it. Here, we document the account of what happened, as understood now, using comprehensive data obtained from astronomy, planetary science, geophysics, meteorology, meteoritics, and cosmochemistry and from social science surveys. A good understanding of the Chelyabinsk incident provides an opportunity to calibrate the event, with implications for the study of near-Earth objects and developing hazard mitigation strategies for planetary protection.

Funding-Text	The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) field study of the Chelyabinsk airburst was supported by the Institute for Dynamics of Geospheres and grants of the Federal Targeted Program Scientific and Educational Human Resources of Innovation-Driven Russia and the RAS Presidium Program Fundamental Problems of Investigation and Exploration of the Solar System. The office of Chelyabinsk Oblast Governor Mikhail Yurevich provided assistance. S. Petukhov and I. Talyukin from the Universe History Museum in Dedovsk contributed samples, as did M. Boslough of Sandia National Laboratories. U. Johann (Astrium Satellites GmbH) calculated the Chebarkul hole position from Pleiades 1A satellite observations. D. F. Blake provided use of a petrographic microscope. P.J. acknowledges support from the NASA Near Earth Object Observation Program, Q.Z.Y. and M.E.Z. from the NASA Cosmochemistry Program, and M. G. from the Academy of Finland.
