Images of the Earth atmosphere are obtained in the near IR spectral range at limb-geometry of observations under the full Moon. The calculated vertical profiles of volume emission/scattering rate point that the aerosol layer occurs within the height region of 80 – 100 km in the Earth atmosphere. It is proposed that this layer is of meteoric origin. Estimations show that the size spectrum of aerosol particles lies within the region of 1 – 100 nm.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Приведены результаты космического эксперимента “Терминатор” на Международной космической станции, полученные в ближнем ИК-диапазоне спектра в лимбовой геометрии наблюдения атмосферы Земли в полнолуние. В результате обработки полученных данных оптической регистрации построены вертикальные профили объемной светимости атмосферы, указывающие на то, что в атмосфере Земли в диапазоне высот 80 – 100 км постоянно присутствует аэрозольный слой метеорного происхождения. Проведенные оценки показали, что спектр размеров входящих в него аэрозольных частиц лежит в диапазоне от нескольких единиц до нескольких сотен нанометров.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>the mesosphere</kwd><kwd>the low thermosphere</kwd><kwd>meteor ablation</kwd><kwd>aerosol layer</kwd><kwd>Moon</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мезосфера</kwd><kwd>нижняя термосфера</kwd><kwd>абляция метеоров</kwd><kwd>аэрозольный слой</kwd><kwd>Луна</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Аванесов Г.А., Строилов Н.А., Филиппова О.В., Шамис В.А., Эльяшев Я.Д.
