During the 'Soyuz-9' flight, the reflection spectra of various natural formations have been obtained by means of the handheld spectrograph RSS-2. Making use of the literature data on the surface reflection spectra for sand and water, the parameters of the atmospheric transfer operator were computed. The spectra obtained from the high altitude observations was corrected to spectral reflectance values at the Earth's surface and compared with the curves for spectral radiance coefficients of different types of natural formations according to Krinov's classification. Using the parameters of the atmospheric transfer operator, the curves for spectral radiance coefficients of different types of natural formations as expected from space observations (Krinov's classification) have been computed.
