“…The TUS (Tracking Ultraviolet Setup) experiment was started in 2001 [29] as a pathfinder for a more advanced KLYPVE project. Plans of accommodating the TUS detector on a satellite were changed several times and the detector itself was improved in comparison with the initial version [30,31,32]. Now it is accommodated on the Lomonosov satellite as a part of instrumentation for studying the Extreme Universe Phenomena [33] and is scheduled for launching in late 2015.…”

For the Lomonosov-UHECR/TLE CollaborationTUS (Tracking Ultraviolet Set-up) is the first orbital detector of extreme energy cosmic rays. It was launched into orbit on April 28, 2016, as a part of the scientific payload of the Lomonosov satellite. The main aim of the mission is to test the technique of measuring UV fluorescent and Cherenkov radiation of extensive air showers (EAS) generated by primary cosmic rays with energies above 50 EeV. The first year of operation has revealed an unexpectedly rich diversity of UV radiation. Among different types of registered events, we have identified those caused by thunderstorm activity and transient luminous events (TLEs), anthropogenic factors and by lowenergy cosmic rays passing through the UV glass filters covering the focal plane. Three modes of operation aimed at studying TLEs and meteors were also tested. A search and analyses of EAS candidates is in progress. We report the preliminary results obtained during the first year of TUS operating in orbit in all modes of operation with a special attention to the EAS mode.

Abstract. Space based observations of extensive air showers constitute the next experimental challenge for the study of the universe at extreme energy. Space observation will allow a "quantum jump" in the observational area available to detect the UV light tracks produced by particles with energies higher than 10 20 eV. These are thought to reach the Earth almost undeflected by the cosmic magnetic field. This new technique will contribute to establish the new field of astronomy and astrophysics performed with charged particles and neutrinos at the highest energies. This idea was created by the incredible efforts of three outstanding comic ray physicists: John Linsley, Livio Scarsi, and Yoshiyuki Takahashi. This challenging technique has four significant merits in comparison with ground-based observations: 1) Very large observational area, 2) Well constrained distances of the showers, 3) Clear and stable atmospheric transmission in the above half troposphere, 4) Uniform Exposure across both the north and south skies. Four proposed and planned missions constitute the roadmap of the community: TUS, JEM-EUSO, KLPVE, and Super-EUSO will contribute step-by-step to establish this challenging field of research.
