The Extreme-Universe Space Observatory (EUSO)[1] is an innovative mission to explore the Extremely-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (EHECRs) with high sensitivity, and open the new window of EHE neutrino astrophysics. In this paper, we would like to discuss the scientific objectives of EUSO mission. The understanding of the EHECRs above Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cut-off[2,3] is very important not only in the astrophysics but also in elementary particle physics. AGN's and GRB's are suggested as possible sources of EHECRs, however, we can not deny the more exotic processes in their production. At present, the experimental results are not enough to discriminate models due to limited statistics. EUSO will supply the energy spectrum and the arrival direction distribution with high statistics and must clarify the origin of EHECRs. The flux information of EHE neutrino measured by EUSO will also strongly constrain models.
