As I don't have more than one hour to spend looking at this I only looked at three or four different parts, and neither looked like they were using a special UV or IR camera, those look like videos from the normal cameras.
Knowing the missions it's probably possible to know if they had UV and/or IR cameras aboard.
NASA camera's constantly look in a various spectra.Could you point to some place where I can get a confirmation of that?
When you would view the video than you would have heard saying the NASA spokeswoman that NASA shows Far UV recordings. So it is not just probably possible but a given fact that they carry IR and UV equipment.I know (as far as I can know such things) that they carried UV and IR cameras for specific missions. For far UV the lens must be different, as normal lens glass blocks UV light.
Could you point to some place where I can get a confirmation of that?
Thanks in advance. :)

NASA camera's constantly look in a various spectra. Infrared, visual light and several ultraviolet ranges. They never stopped doing this. Only difference today is that NASA no longer shares these recordings with us.
ArMaP, there is some interesting viewing at around 8 minutes but it may not be Far UV, I'm not sure.If I'm not mistaken, that part of the video shows images from STS-75, the famous tether mission.
DepthOfField on ATS tried to explain it all away as ice particles. However, the changes of direction were never adequately explained. That part is ignored by debunkers.Yes, the unexplained thing about the ice crystals theory is the changes of directions, but, as far as I remember, the changes in direction do not happen in all directions, as if they were just moving randomly, but only in some directions, as if there was a specific (but unknown, at least by me) force that made the objects change direction.
At5 about 6m55s in the above video some of the changes in direction are visible. the fact that there are changes in more than one direction could suggest that the movements are propelled by the objects themselves and not an outside force. There is no "wind" or similar force that could do that in space surely.My question is why are almost all changes in direction from up to down?

You could be right, Starwarp. The jury is definitely still out on LEO phenomena.
Transcript from Report
"Its called an Electrodynamic Tether designed to collect high energy electrons in the Earth's ionosphere and electromagnetic field. The motion of the tether across the Earth's magnetic field produces a voltage along the 12 mile tether.
Utilizing estimates in the charged density of the earths electromagnetic field and the ionosphere the voltage produces is expected to be several hundred volts per kilometer. If successful this experiment could produce a lot of electrical power. If additional power is driven along the tether in the opposite direction to that in which it normally wants to flow the tether in theory could push negating propulsion against the Earth's gravity to raise the shuttles orbit.
The advantage to this revolutionary advance in propulsion is that it does not require any rocket fuel If successful electrodynamic tethers could prove a way to greatly decrease the cost of in space propulsion. For example the ISS could keep itself in orbit saving nearly 2 billion dollars in orbit reboost rocket fuel for every 10 years of the stations operation
But on Feb. 25 after the 12 mile tether began producing electricity an unexpected overload in electrical energy fluctuating between 2 and 10 times that which predicted due to inaccurate estimates in the electrical charge in the earths magnetic field, ionosphere, and possibly space radiation fried the tethers conductor cable and it broke severing it from the space shuttle..."
Some of the UV images seem to confuse NASA. The one where they try to find Mir is hilarious. There is so much visible they are lost. ::)
Because the Electric Field Vector is always a normal to the Surface, therefore only allowing up/down motion?Well, although most changes are from up to down we can also other changes, those are only the most common.

I'm not sure that the normal is the camera normal though if you see what I mean?
I doubt any of this would be instrumented on any video image and I am sure that the details pertaining to the ISS would be deeply classified!Agreed.
Most pictures of Mars seem parehidolias,
My question is: why do we see life on earth ?, like life in the universe has infinite ways or forms and need not be equal to the earth Mars, that's anthropocentrism.
Well we can ask the Russians :PI asked James Oberg via the email address on his website for info on Russian UV capable cameras in LEO. No response yet. I need to get hold of him on ATS but I'll have to re-register as a member. :-\
