Upward-going showers in the atmosphere can be detected by an orbiting satellite having an appropriate instrumentation. If the method only uses directional Cherenkov radiation, it is difficult to discriminate the real shower events from the background noises of very short pulse. A spectroscopic polychromatic optical design can intentionally blur the fo cusing of photons at shorter wavelengths (300 330 nm), spreading the image size to 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 pixels. False triggers due to random chance coincidence of noises can be drastically reduced with a spectroscopic polychromatic, refractive telescope.
