The paper describes the characteristics of the Sterlitamak-meteorite-fall event and the meteorite itself, which fell on May 17, 1990 in southern Bashkiriia (USSR), 20 km west of Sterlitamak. Special attention is given to the observations made during the fall of the meteorite, the features of the impact crater, the map of the ejecta, and preliminary results of morphological and chemical analyses. On the basis of these analyses, it is concluded that the Sterlitamak meteorite belongs to the type of medium-structure octahedrites of group III A, the representatives of which are fragments of small planets whose active life was completed about 4 billion years ago.
