Аннотация:The Mini-EUSO detector was delivered on board the International Space Station in 2019 as part of the UV Atmosphere space experiment. The device was designed and manufactured by the international JEM-EUSO collaboration and is a prototype of the K-EUSO fluorescent orbital ultra-high-energy cosmic ray detector. Twenty-six sessions of the experiment were conducted over 1 year of the equipment’s operation on board the ISS. Slow variations in UV fluorescence were recorded (cloud cover and anthropogenic sources) as well as lightning discharges, transient high-atmosphere phenomena of thunderstorm origin, and meteors. A number of unusual UV flashes with durations of around 150 μs were recorded, the nature of which remains unclear.
