“…Nevertheless, the principal aim of the TUS mission is to test the performance of an orbital EAS fluorescence Figure 11: Global map of the nighttime atmospheric glow intensity in the UV wavelength band (240-400 nm) as measured by the Tatiana-2 satellite (Vedenkin et al, 2011) detector in a space environment. (Garipov et al, 2013), green squares: the Vernov experiment (Panasyuk et al, 2016) The TUS detector will also operate above intensive sources of background glow during the flight: auroral events, city lights and other sporadic lights of uncertain origin. Experimental results of the Tatiana and Tatiana-2 satellites have demonstrated that these higher intensity glow sources are limited in area and do not strongly affect detector exposure.…”

“…Another source of background glow in orbital EECR measurements are short UV flashes (durations of 1-100 ms), the origin of which is related to electrical discharges in the atmosphere. The latest results regarding their intensity and distribution were obtained with the Tatiana-2 satellite (Garipov et al, 2013) and the Vernov experiment (Panasyuk et al, 2016). The UV detector of these satellites operated in conditions close to those of an orbital EECR detector, measuring the temporal structure of flashes over atmospheric regions of thousands km 2 , while oriented toward the nadir.…”

The origin and nature of extreme energy cosmic rays (EECRs), which have energies above the 5 · 10 19 eV, the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) energy limit, is one of the most interesting and complicated problems in modern cosmic-ray physics. Existing ground-based detectors have helped to obtain remarkable results in studying cosmic rays before and after the GZK limit, but have also produced some contradictions in our understanding of cosmic ray mass composition. Moreover, each of these detectors covers only a part of the celestial sphere, which poses problems for studying the arrival directions of EECRs and identifying their sources. As a new generation of EECR space detectors, TUS (Tracking Ultraviolet Set-up), KLYPVE and JEM-EUSO, are intended to study the most energetic cosmic-ray particles, providing larger, uniform exposures of the entire celestial sphere. The TUS detector, launched on board the Lomonosov satellite on April 28, 2016, from Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia, is the first of these. It employs a single-mirror optical system and a photomultiplier tube matrix as a photodetector and will test the fluorescent method of measuring EECRs from space. Utilizing the Earth's atmosphere as a huge calorimeter, it is expected to detect EECRs with energies above 10 20 eV. It will also be able to register slower atmospheric transient events: atmospheric fluorescence in electrical discharges of various types including precipitating electrons escaping the magnetosphere and from the radiation of meteors passing through the atmosphere. We describe the design of the TUS detector and present results of different ground-based tests and simulations.

V. A. Sadovnichii et al. zations to study some of extreme phenomena in space related to astrophysics, astroparticle physics, space physics, and space biology. The primary goals of this experiment are to study: -Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) in the energy range of the Greizen-ZatsepinKuzmin (GZK) cutoff; -Ultraviolet (UV) transient luminous events in the upper atmosphere; -Multi-wavelength study of gamma-ray bursts in visible, UV, gamma, and X-rays; -Energetic trapped and precipitated radiation (electrons and protons) at low-Earth orbit (LEO) in connection with global geomagnetic disturbances; -Multicomponent radiation doses along the orbit of spacecraft under different geomagnetic conditions and testing of space segments of optical observations of space-debris and other space objects; -Instrumental vestibular-sensor conflict of zero-gravity phenomena during space flight. This paper is directed towards the general description of both scientific goals of the project and scientific equipment on board the satellite. The following papers of this issue are devoted to detailed descriptions of scientific instruments.

The unique capabilities of the detector, based on the CeBr3 crystal (very short flashing time) allow us to expand the range of problems solved in the GRIS experiment. In addition to registering solar flares that have characteristic times per second÷minute, this detector allows solving problems in identifying and recording characteristics of geophysical and astrophysical events (short gamma-ray bursts -SGRB and terrestial gamma-ray flares -TGF) in the time range of 10µs÷1 ms. The modification of the hardware of the GRIS device for solving these problems is described and discussed in this paper.
