“…However, the high temporal and spatial resolution of Mini-EUSO means that it will also be possible to make unique observations of these atmospheric events, complementing those of other dedicated instruments scheduled to fly in Earth orbit during the same period (e.g. TUS (Panasyuk et al, 2010), ASIM (Neubert and the ASIM Instrument Team, 2009)).…”

The Mini-EUSO telescope is designed by the JEM-EUSO Collaboration to observe the UV emission of the Earth from the vantage point of the International Space Station (ISS) in low Earth orbit. The main goal of the mission is to map the Earth in the UV, thus increasing the technological readiness level of future EUSO experiments and to lay the groundwork for the detection of Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays (EECRs) from space. Due to its high time resolution of 2.5 us, Mini-EUSO is capable of detecting a wide range of UV phenomena in the Earth's atmosphere. In order to maximise the scientific return of the mission, it is necessary to implement a multi-level trigger logic for data selection over different timescales. This logic is key to the success of the mission and thus must be thoroughly tested and carefully integrated into the data processing system prior to the launch. This article introduces the motivation behind the trigger design and details the integration and testing of the logic.Comment: 24 pages, 11 figures. Accepted for publication in AS

“…18 The first satellite had simple UV detector with one channel on board, directed to nadir. The second detector, on board Tatiana-2 was supplemented by Red-IR channel, and provided measurements simultaneously in two wavelength ranges (240-400 nm and 610-800 nm).…”

Idea of ultrahigh cosmic rays (UHECR) measurement from satellites was suggested by Linsley in 1981 and since has being developed into projects of cosmic rays telescopes for International Space Station (ISS): JEM-EUSOto be installed on the Japanese experimental module and KLYPVE -on the Russian ISS segment. A series of space-based detectors for measurements of background phenomena in those telescopes were developed in Russia (Universitetsky-Tatiana, Universitetsky-Tatiana-2 , Chibis satellites). The satellite Lomonosov with UHECR detector TUS on its board will be launched in 2013. TUS contains multi-channel photo receiver and Fresnel-type mirror manufactured with use of special multi-layer carbon plastic technology in RSC "Energia". In this paper one and two component optical systems with 360 cm entrance diameter and 400 cm focal distance for wide angle detector KLYPVE are studied. In one component case using generalized Davies-Cotton systems (Fresnel-type mirror with ellipsoidal gross surface) it is possible to obtain 8-10 • field of view (FoV) with focal spot size less than pixel size equal to 15 × 15 mm. In two component system (parabolic mirror and a Fresnel lens, mounted close to photo receiver) it is possible to increase FoV up to 10-12 • and significantly simplify the primary mirror construction.

“…[37] concludes that the origin of UV enhancements at middle latitudes (2 < L < 4) is still unclear and requires further studies. Simultaneous measurement of UV, energetic e and other high energy particles on Tatiana 1 and 2 satellites allowed to obtain several results important also for understanding the energetic particle dynamics in near-Earth space [39]. Review of the results including those obtained in study of transient events in the atmosphere can be found e.g.…”

“…Detectors on Tatiana-2 with a higher trigger rate observed a series of flashes not connected with lightning [45]. A review of several Russian missions with the experimental goal to investigate the origin of the high-energy electrons (e) and γ ray quanta for specific TLEs and their role in the ionosphere-magnetosphere system, namely Tatiana-2, CHIBIS, RELEC and TUS, is in [39].…”

for the JEM-EUSO CollaborationThe main scientific task of JEM-EUSO is to observe the ultra high energy cosmic rays by looking the atmosphere from space [1,2,3,4]. The detailed description of various sources of the background is important. On the other hand, the study of selected magnetospheric, ionospheric and atmospheric processes related to temporal and spatial variability of UV (ultraviolet) on the orbit where JEM-EUSO is supposed to be situated, could be a useful by-product of the main task of the project (e.g. review [5]). We attempt to summarize selected processes connected with atmospheric electricity and with energetic particles having links to the events as TLE (transient luminous event), TGF (terrestrial gamma-ray flash) and TGE (thunderstorm ground enhancement), recently observed on mountains too. Our groups (in CBK Warsaw, in IEP Košice) have a long track of experience with measurements of waves and particles for magnetospheric/ionospheric research as well as with physical analysis/interpretation of the data obtained. The JEM-EUSO, if the experiment is augmented by a very simple device that monitors energetic particles, and coordinated with other satellite measurements and with ground based observations, may be of relevance for some space weather studies related to the effects in the chain magnetosphere/ionosphere/atmosphere. This can contribute to better understanding of electromagnetic responses of lightning on the Earth and of selected processes at high altitudes in the atmosphere.
