Scientific paper

The determination of the elemental composition and energy spectra of cosmic rays at energies in the range 10 exp 13 - 10 exp 20 eV/particle remains to be one of the most challenging tasks in high-energy astrophysics. This paper discusses the technology necessary for observations of cosmic rays at high energies and the direct and indirect measurement techniques that can be applied. It is emphasized that direct measurements are essential to understand the particle composition. Such measurements are possible over the energy range 10 exp 13 - 10 exp 15 eV/particle by space-based detectors.
