Аннотация: Since 2018, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics of Moscow State University has developed a series of compact UV detectors for space missions called AURA (AURA−Atmospheric Ultraviolet RAdiation). The purpose of the experiment is to observe the glow of the night atmosphere. The main feature of these detectors is the use of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM), which have small size, low supply voltage, and high reliability. It makes these photo sensors suitable for use on board nano satellites. The second detector in the AURA series, the AURA-2, currently operates on board the DEKART satellite. This detector version has a higher time resolution (10 ms) and wider field of view (22 × 90°) in comparison with the AURA-1 detector used on board the VDNH-80 satellite. Two successful sessions of measurements of the night atmosphere emission were carried out: in September and December 2021, respectively. Several fast UV flashes were detected. They were registered northeast of Papua New Guinea, and their characteristic duration was tens of milliseconds. Analyses of cloud coverage and lighting location networks data suggest a thunderstorm origin of these flashes.
