Abstract
The principal astronomic observatory of the NAS of Ukraine proposes to carry out the polarization measurements of the stratospheric aerosol at a wavelength of approximately 260Â nm from near-earth orbit. Currently, NASA is carrying out a similar experiment; however, these measurements are being carried out in the wavelength interval above 412Â nm. Their data are formed basically by dispersed light of the troposphere and its reflection from the Earth surface and clouds. Our experiment makes it possible to exclude the influence of troposphere and underlying surface, and explore the light flux dispersed by the Earth atmosphere at altitudes above 30Â km.
