Abstract: 

According to infrasound stations observations the basic parameters of infrasonic waves generated during the flight and explosion of the Chelyabinsk space body were found: delay time, duration, spectral structure and dispersional dependence and the celerity. The infrasonic waves parameters were simulated. Comparing of the simulation and observations results has shown their good match.
Keywords: celerity, Chelyabinsk meteoroid, delay time, dispersional dependence, duration, infrasonic waves, spectral structure
