Planned space-based ultra-high-energy cosmic-ray detectors (TUS, JEM-EUSO and S-EUSO) are best suited for searches of global anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions of cosmic-ray particles because they will be able to observe the full sky with a single instrument. We calculate quantitatively the strength of anisotropies associated with two models of the origin of the highest-energy particles: the extragalactic model (sources follow the distribution of galaxies in the Universe) and the superheavy dark-matter model (sources follow the distribution of dark matter in the Galactic halo). Based on the expected exposure of the experiments, we estimate the optimal strategy for efficient search of these effects.

“…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.…”

“…The planned experiments TUS [4] and JEM-EUSO [5] are the suitable opportunity to observe UHE neutrino showers. They will detect the fluorescent light from the EAS by telescopes placed on satellites and have a large field of view (FOV) with a radius of 40 km and 250 km, respectively.…”
