Abstract
JEM-EUSO is a space-borne cosmic ray experiment devoted to the study of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR). It will be placed with H2 transfer vehicle on the Japanese Experiment Module/Exposure Facility (JEM/EF) of the International Space Station in the mid-2010. The principle of operation is the observation in the dark side of the Earth of fluorescence and Cherenkov light emitted by UHECR showers in the atmosphere. During its 5 years of planned operation it is expected to detect at least 1000 events with energy above 7 × 1019 eV assuming Greisen Zatsepin Kuzmin (GZK) suppression spectrum, localizing possible sources and the relative spectrum.
