The Anza group at the University of California San Diego operates a broadband seismograph network consisting of 17 three component broadband seismograph stations centered near Anza, California (see map).

On Friday June 22 2007 at 11:43 AM (PDT) we recorded the sonic boom produced when the space shuttle Atlantis entered Earth's atmosphere. Atlantis landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California because of bad weather in Florida.
