OBJECTIVE:
Investigation of optical emissions in the Earth
atmosphere and ionosphere associated with thunderstorm
and seismic activity.
TASKS:
- Development tests of methods for monitoring of
thunderstorm activity, optical emissions of the
Earth atmosphere and ionosphere under different
geographic and geophysical conditions.
- Obtaining statistical data on global distribution
of thunderstorm activity in lower and middle latitudes.
- Investigation of night sky luminescence over areas
of seismic activity.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
- Magneto-optical disk with digital video recording
of observations (no less than 10 minutes per one
session).
- Ballistic data for control of measurement results
(ISS attitude and altitude, geographic coordinates
of a subsatellite point, angle of the Sun, angle
of the Moon).
- Original and decoded telemetry information (on
equipment state, operational modes and detected
events of lightning).
