摘要: Abstract We review the main issues that are relevant for observation of extensive air showers from an Earth-orbiting satellite. Extensive produced by interaction ultra-high energy cosmic particles with atmosphere and can be observed orbiting telescope detecting scintillation light. provide analytical formulas semi-analytical results needed to optimize design a suitable estimate best-expected performance minimal necessary requirements observation. While we have in mind EUSO-like general-purpose experiment, presented this paper useful any kind space-based experiment.
