Abstract:
The Extreme Universe Space Observatory on Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EUSO) is a science mission planned to be launched in 2017 to the International Space Station (ISS) to investigate the nature and origin of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) beyond energy 3 × 10 19 eV. JEM-EUSO is a wide-angle telescope (60 degrees full field of view) and consists of a high-transmittance Fresnel lenses 2.5 m in diameter, an advanced photo-sensitive detector at the focal surface and a suitable electronics. An infrared camera and a LIDAR system will also be used to monitor the Earth's atmosphere and provide significant information on cloud coverage. The present status of advancement of the mission is reported.
