“…-(b) Nighttime atmosphere noise in UV band (300-400 nm) used for EAS detection varies on satellite route. The data from Universitetsky-Tatiana satellite (Sadovnichy et al 2011) gave scale of such variation: from 3 × 10 7 -2 × 10 8 photon cm −2 sr −1 s −1 -at moonless night (lower value-above oceans, higher value-above aurora zones and cities) to 2 × 10 9 photon cm −2 sr −1 s −1 -at full moon night. Ground-based arrays are operated at moonless nights at specially chosen locations with noise level not more than 5 × 10 7 photon cm −2 sr −1 s −1 .…”

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.

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.

“…Only few detectors devoted to TLE measurements were launched to the orbit: ISUAL on board FORMOSAT-2 satellite [7], UV detector on board Universitetsky-Tatiana satellite [8], UV and IR detector on board Universitetsky-Tatiana-2 satellite [9] and JEM-GLIMS on board ISS [10]. ISUAL and JEM-GLIMS have spatial resolution and provide spectral measurements in wide wavelength bands, but Tatiana-1 and Tatiana-2 detectors provide measurements in 240 -400 nm, in the same wavelength range as EAS fluorescent radiation.…”

The main goal of the JEM-EUSO experiment is the study of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR, 10 19 − 10 21 eV ), but the method which will be used (detection of the secondary light emissions induced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere) allows to study other luminous phenomena. The UHECRs will be detected through the measurement of the emission in the range between 290 and 430 m, where some part of Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) emission also appears. This work discusses the possibility of using the JEM-EUSO Telescope to get new scientific results on TLEs. The high time resolution of this instrument allows to observe the evolution of TLEs with great precision just at the moment of their origin. The paper consists of four parts: review of the present knowledge on the TLE, presentation of the results of the simulations of the TLE images in the JEM-EUSO telescope, results of the Russian experiment Tatiana-2 and discussion of the possible progress achievable in this field with JEM-EUSO as well as possible cooperation with other space projects devoted to the study of TLE -TARANIS and ASIM. In atmospheric The full author list and affiliations are given at the end of paper. Astron (2015) 40:239-251 physics, the study of TLEs became one of the main physical subjects of interest after their discovery in 1989. In the years 1992 -1994 detection was performed from satellite, aircraft and space shuttle and recently from the International Space Station. These events have short duration (milliseconds) and small scales (km to tens of km) and appear at altitudes 50 -100 km. Their nature is still not clear and each new experimental data can be useful for a better understanding of these mysterious phenomena.
