This work extends our previous investigation of nitrogen-methane (N2-CH4) atmospheric glow discharge for simulation chemical processes in prebiotic atmospheres. We present results obtained by optical emission spectroscopic (OES) observations. The theory of the evolution of life was given by Oparin and it is based on the possibility of the synthesis of organic compounds by abiotic processes from inorganic species. Possible energy sources for these processes include UV radiation, electric discharges, shock waves, radioactivity, cosmic rays, solar wind, volcanoes or hydrothermal vents. Sixty years ago, the Miller Urey experiment showed that many biologically important organic compounds, including sugars and amino acids, could be formed by methane, hydrogen, ammonia and water to spark discharge. They detected products like HCN, aldehydes, ketones and the ammonia in liquid water.
