SESZIONE DI TORINO
JEM-EUSO is a science mission to explore the extremes of the Universe. It observes the dark-side of the Earth and detects UV photons emitted from the giant air showers caused by an extremely high energy particle (about 1020 eV). Such a particle arrives almost straightly through our Milky Way Galaxy and it is expected to allow us to trace the source location by its arrival direction. This will open the door to the new astronomy with charged particles. JEM-EUSO is planned to be transported with HTV (H2 Transfer Vehicle) and attached to the Japanese Experiment Module/ Exposure Facility (JEM/EF) of the International Space Station.
