An experiment to determine the lunar radiation spectrum in the band of 1 to 8 micron was set up on the Salyut-4 orbital piloting station. This band encompasses significant portions of the spectrum in which reflected and characteristic lunar radiation is concentrated. An ITS-K Infrared telespectrometer developed at the P.N. Levedev Physics Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences was used for the observations. The observations of the moon were carried out on the 514th revolution of the Salyut-4 station's flight, during the full moon. It is concluded that the spectra of lunar radiation and the laboratory spectra of the surface fraction of the lunar soil (regolith) are generally (depending upon the nature of the spectrum) similar.
