Scientific paper

Mir-station photographs of the moonrise and the moonset are analyzed to evaluate the refraction and extinction properties of the earth's atmosphere along a space-space trajectory. Craters and other details of the moon's image were used as reference points. Estimates are given of values of the aerosol scattering coefficient in aerosol layers of the tropical stratosphere at altitudes of 47, 24, and 18 km altitudes.
