Active ground-space experiments carried out by the Space Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences and the State Space Agency of Ukraine (SRI), the Lviv Center for the Space Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences and the State Space Agency of Ukraine (LC SRI) and the Physical-Mechanical Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (FMI) in 2013 (involving the microsatellite Chibis -M), and in 2005 - LC SRI together with FMI (with the involvement of the microsatellite DEMETER) were devoted to the study of programmable infrasonic impact on the ionosphere of the Earth from the ground-based acoustic source of artificial origin. In this paper, attention is focused on the measurements made by these satellites during the active action of the ground-based acoustic generator. The description of the specifics of experiments, corresponding data analysis methods as well as discussion of their results is given.
                  An analysis of the records of satellite measurements of low-frequency variations of electric and magnetic fields in the ionosphere at altitudes of 420 km (MS Chibis-M) and 710 km (MS DEMETER) allowed detecting the passage of satellites through localized excitation areas that differ from the environment by another spatial-temporal variability. The analysis of spatio-temporal relations that existed during experiments allowed interpreting some of the observed events as candidates for excitations caused by the action of acoustic radiation of a ground-based acoustic emitter.
                 The data analysis was performed using implementations of sliding normalized median absolute deviation, wavelet entropy in a sliding window, and multifractal analysis. Recommendations for further analysis stages are given. The developed methodology and software will be used in researches of the space project "Ionosat-Micro".
