Abstract

The analysis of studies of the luminescence of meteor shower particles recorded in the UV-atmosphere and Terminator international space experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) since 2019 has been performed. The analysis showed that the number of recorded cases of meteor luminescence in the UV region of the spectrum in the atmosphere exceeds the estimated zenith hourly number of events that an observer on Earth would have seen. This difference may be due to the more accurate registration of small particles, the faint glow of which is not visible from the surface of the Earth against the background of noise. Aerosol layered structures were found in the upper layers of the atmosphere during the passage of meteors at altitudes of 90–100 km, as a result of the continuous influx of microparticles from meteor showers during the epoch. When high-speed particles of meteor showers strike the surface of a space object, pulsed plasma, pulsed electric and magnetic fields, and electric current pulses occur, which affect spacecraft and can lead to destructive effects on electronics and computer programs, which can lead to equipment failure.
