The Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon 1 (EUSO-SPB1) was launched in 2017 April from Wanaka, New Zealand. plan of this mission opportunity NASA super pressure balloon test flight to circle the southern hemisphere. primary scientific goal make first observations ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray extensive air showers (EASs) by looking down atmosphere with an ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence telescope suborbital altitude (33~km). After 12~days and 4~hours aloft, terminated...
The Probe Of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) mission is being designed to establish charged particle astronomy with ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) and observe cosmogenic tau neutrinos (CTNs). study of UHECRs CTNs from space will yield orders-of-magnitude increase in statistics observed at the highest energies observation flux for a range UHECR models. These observations should solve long-standing puzzle origin particles ever observed, providing new window onto most...
Future experiments based on the observation of Earth's atmosphere from sub-orbital and orbital altitudes plan to include optical Cherenkov cameras observe extensive air showers produced by high-energy cosmic radiation via its interaction with both Earth atmosphere. As discussed elsewhere, particularly relevant is case upward-moving initiated astrophysical neutrinos skimming interacting in Earth. The cameras, looking above limb, can also detect rays energies starting less than a PeV up...
Context . Observations of meteors in the Earth’s atmosphere offer a unique tool for determining flux meteoroids that are too small to be detected by direct telescopic observations. Although these objects routinely observed from ground-based facilities, such as meteor and fireball networks, space-based instruments come with notable advantages have potential achieve broad uniform exposure. Aims In this paper, we describe first observations events Mini-EUSO, very wide field-of-view telescope...

EUSO-Balloon is a pathfinder mission for the Extreme Universe Space Observatory onboard Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EUSO). It was launched on moonless night of 25th August 2014 from Timmins, Canada. The flight ended successfully after maintaining target altitude 38 km five hours. One part 2.5 hour underflight using helicopter equipped with three UV light sources (LED, xenon flasher and laser) to perform an inflight calibration examine detectors capability measure tracks moving at speed...
The Global Cosmic-ray Observatory (GCOS) is a proposed large-scale observatory for studying ultra-high-energy cosmic particles, including rays (UHECRs), photons, and neutrinos. Its primary goal to characterise the properties of highest-energy particles in Nature with unprecedented accuracy, identify their elusive sources. With an aperture at least ten-fold larger than existing observatories, this next-generation facility should start operating after 2030, when present-day detectors will...
Abstract JEM-EUSO is an international program for the development of space-based Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray observatories.

All instruments based on wide-field-of-view telescope, operates near-UV range, designed to detect fluorescence light emitted by extensive air showers atmosphere. We describe simulation software ESAF framework and explain physical assumptions used. present here implementation JEM-EUSO,...
Abstract The complexity of modern cosmic ray observatories and the rich data sets they capture often require a sophisticated software framework to support simulation physical processes, detector response, as well reconstruction analysis real simulated data. Here we present EUSO-Offline framework. code base was originally developed by Pierre Auger Collaboration, portions it have been adopted other collaborations suit their needs. We extended this fulfill requirements Ultra-High Energy Cosmic...

The last decade has brought about a profound transformation in multimessenger science. Ten years ago, facilities had been built or were under construction that would eventually discover the nature of objects our universe could be detected through multiple messengers. Nonetheless, science was hardly more than dream. rewards for foresight finally realized IceCube's discovery diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux, first observation gravitational waves by LIGO, and joint detections photons...
