Abstract

The NUSES space mission aims to explore cosmic and gamma rays, high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, the Sun-Earth environment, space weather, and magnetosphere-ionosphere-lithosphere coupling (MILC). Additionally, NUSES aims to pave the way for future missions by testing new technologies and observational strategies. The satellite will carry two payloads: Terzina and Zir` e. Zir`e will measure the flux of electrons, protons, and light nuclei from a few to hundreds of MeV and evaluate new tools for detecting cosmic MeV photons and monitoring MILC signals. Terzina will monitor near-UV and visible light emissions from the Earth’s limb to test the detection of Cherenkov light from extensive air showers produced by UHERCs or Earth-skimming high-energy neutrinos. This work will cover the current status of NUSES project design and its scientific and technological objectives.
