Measurements of the brightness of the moon in atmospheric infrared absorption bands from board the orbital station Salyut 4.
Abstract
In the present work, the spectral reflectance of the moon at a near-zero phase was measured in the atmospheric absorption bands of water vapor and molecular oxygen. The Salyut 4 data are found to correlate well with astronomical ground-observations in the infrared.
