Abstract

The Extreme-Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) on Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) is a mission on ISS [1], led by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to investigate the nature and origin of extremely-high-energy cosmic rays (EHECRs). This is the sole window on the extreme-energy universe. JAXA has selected JEM-EUSO for study as one of two international mission candidates for installation on the JEM Exposure Facility by 2013. JEM-EUSO (hereafter, EUSO) is designated to pioneer measurements of EHECR-induced extensive air showers (EAS) from space. As the detector, it uses the whole earth, observing from the International Space Station (ISS) where a remote sensor is located. The signal is fluorescent and Cherenkov light from the Extensive Air Showers (EAS).
