Scientific paper

An analysis is presented of three photographs of the twilight layer taken from Salyut-6 in March 1978. These photographs depict the gradual development of the twilight glow from the nighttime side of the atmosphere to the terminator. A theoretical distribution is obtained for the intensity of scattered radiation in the primary twilight in the plane passing through the center of the earth perpendicular to the terminator. It is noted that spaceborne photographic observations of twilight glow can be used to study the distribution of particles in the upper layers of the atmosphere and to analyze the distribution of scattered solar radiation in the atmosphere.
