A procedure for calculating thermodynamic and optical 
properties of the vapors of cosmic bodies entering the earth's atmosphere 
is described. Calculations were carried out on the basis of a mixture 
of the 16 elements Fe-O-Mg-Si-C-N-H-S-Al-Ca-Na-K-Ti-Cr-Mn-Ni for bodies of
different chemical composition: H-, LL-, and C-chondrites, comet matter,
and ice in the temperature range of 2-40 kK. The scale of quanta energies
used in calculations of spectral absorption coefficients numbered
approximately 22 thousand points. Examples of calculations are given.
