JEM-EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory) is the first astronomical earth observatory that uses the earth's atmosphere as a gigantic detector looking down from space. It is designed to be attached to Japanese experiment module of International Space Station. It will detect overwhelmingly large number of extreme energy cosmic-rays above 1020 eV, which directly come to the earth from their origin along with a straight line, and open the new field of astronomy with the particle channel.


Research Subject
