Optical effects of spacecraft-environment interaction Spectrometric observations by the DE-B satelliteData from the Fabry-Perot interferometer on board the Dynamics Explorer-B satellite is used to show that the contaminant glow observed by Yee and Abreu at 7320A on the AE satellites is produced by emission lines of one or more species. A comparison is made of the contaminant spectrum near 7320A with the nightglow OH spectrum measured below 155km. Evidence is presented to the effect that OH might be one of the metastable species producing the glow.
