Abstract

JEM-EUSO experiment will search for UHECR by monitoring UV light produced in their interaction with atmosphere from International Space Station. We have estimated an operational duty cycle for JEM-BUSO experiment along the ISS trajectory by the analytical evaluation of possible UV light sources on the Barth nightside. Main sources are UV moon light and UV background intensities created by nightglow and stars. Effect of artificial sources of UV light in populated areas is also estimated.
