Аннотация

The results of the “Terminator” space experiment on board the International Space Station are given. Images of the Earth atmosphere are obtained in the near IR spectral range at limb-geometry of observations under the full Moon. The calculated vertical profiles of volume emission/scattering rate point that the aerosol layer occurs within the height region of 80 – 100 km in the Earth atmosphere. It is proposed that this layer is of meteoric origin. Estimations show that the size spectrum of aerosol particles lies within the region of 1 – 100 nm.

4. Fig. 3. Actual and calculated positions of the SAS on the camera matrices. Crosses (camera No. 4) and circles (camera No. 3) indicate the position of the brightest pixels in the central part of the observed layer (see Table 2). The thin line corresponds to the projection with α=17.3°+0.0°, β=5.66°+1.64°=7.3°, θ=72.0°. The thick line is the projection with α=17.3°-0.63°=16.67°, β=5.66°+3.34°=9.0°, θ=72.0°.
