Improvements in hardware and processing techniques for the passive detection of infrasonic sound waves provide capabilities for monitoring space debris and meteor impacts. A review of past detection of meteors indicates possible uses for infrasonic observatories. We also document signals from bolides that we recorded on 3 - 4 October 1996, illustrating long-range tracking capabilities and review short-range detections and the observation of a space shuttle reentry. We discuss possible roles of acoustic observing systems for space debris and meteor detection.
