Ground-Space experiment to investigate the impact of artificial acoustic radiation on the ionosphere was conducted on November 28, 2013. In experiment, there were used “Chibis-M” microsatellite by Institute for Space Research of Russian Academy of Sciences, powerful stationary acoustic emitter by Lviv Centre of Space Research Institute of National Academy of Sciences and State Space Agency of Ukraine and decameter radiotelescope URAN-3 by Institute of Physics and Mechanics of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. During the experiment, 5 sessions of registering magnetic and electric field variations on board of the microsatellite were conducted at the time of flight near the location of the acoustic emitter. The results of the preliminary analysis of the experiment outcome are presented.
