Influence of Spaceflight

It is mentioned in the main article that Manned Spaceflight is a contributing factor to the appearance of NLCs. Can someone please provide a reference for this conjecture? It is my understanding that at 82km altitude the intense UV-radiation from the sun dissociates water molecules very quickly. With half-life times of mere hours, its a little curious how these can be a contributing factor. Albester 18:14, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
