Abstract
The TUS space experiment is aimed to study energy spectrum, composition, and angular distribution of the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) at E ∼ 1020 eV. The TUS mission is planned for operation at the end of 2012 at the dedicated “Mikhail Lomonosov” satellite. The TUS detector will measure the fluorescence and Cherenkov light radiated by EAS of the UHECR using the optical system—Fresnel mirror-concentrator of 7 modules of ∼2 m2 area in total. Production of the flight model of the optical system is in progress. Status of the Fresnel mirror production, the method, and results of their optical parameters measurement are presented.
