Lunar brightness measurements in the atmospheric infrared absorption bands from aboard the orbital station ''Salyut-4''

The lunar brightness measurements in spectral infervals of the atmospheric absorption bands in the near infrared region were carried out from aboard the orbital station ''Salyut-4'' in January 1975. Spectral brightness of the Moon in water vapor and molecular oxygen absorption bands with the centers at wavelengths 1.4μm, 1.9μm, 2.7μm was measured. The results occur to be in a good agreement with the spectral brightness of the Moon, determined on the basis of ground-based astronomical observations
