The shuttle glow phenomenon

Article Abstract:

Near surfaces that face atmospheric wind when a spacecraft is in low earth orbit a bright orange glow can be seen. The glow was first seen on the space shuttle, but it is common to all spacecraft, with the intensity of glow dependent on temperature of the surface, atmospheric density, and angle between the velocity vector and the spacecraft surface. The glow comes from NO2, in an excited state, formed in surface-aided recombination of NO and O.
