As shown in a large body of experimental research the electric field strength of microwave radiation required for the break-down of the air with the aforementioned pressure must be equal to 500-1000 volts per centimeter. But the quantity of electric field strength needed for sustaining discharge in the atmosphere is much less than for the break-down. It is possible that this electric field strength is smaller by a factor of nearly 100 [5,7], We suggest using the SPS for the detection and subsequent irradiation of the atmospheric ozone holes with microwave beam and by this expedient the ozone layer can be restored. In other words, it is suggested "darning" of the ozone holes by means of the microwave beam from space. As for the ecological problem of microwave impact on the environment, this problem is a extremely complicated and invites further investigation. But it is important to keep in mind that the ozone holes are largely over lone polar regions of the Earth and the plasma of atmospheric discharge can protect the Earth's surface against the microwave radiation from space.
