Summary/Abstract: At the top of the atmosphere there are several ultraviolet emissions. The most important are Lα emissions at 121.6 nm and the oxygen emitted OI 130.4 nm and 135.6 nm. A new method with three independent channels for synchronous measurement of each of these lines is proposed. As a sensor for measuring such weak light fluxes used high performance Photomultiplier (PMT) R10825.The photon counting method is used to amplify and process very weak light signals. The intensity of the light is proportional to that number.
