The Extreme Universe Space Observatory on board the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EUSO) on the International Space Station (ISS) aims at measuring the properties of Extreme Energy Cosmic-Rays (EECRs) by recording their Extensive Air Shower developments in Earth's atmosphere from space. In order to test the good operation of the JEM-EUSO telescope, a network of ground-based Xenon flashers and...

The JEM-EUSO observatory on board of the International Space Station (ISS) is a new concept of Space mission devoted to the investigation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs). Looking downward to the Earth atmosphere the JEM-EUSO telescope will detect the fluorescence and Cherenkov UV emission from UHECRs induced Extensive Air Showers (EAS) penetrating in the atmosphere within a 60◦ Field...
