The prototype of space fluorescence detector TUS (see V. Alexandrov et al., this conference) is begin prepared for operation at the mountain site Cerro La Negra (atmosphere depth 600g /cm2). The fluorescence detector (FD) field of view cover the atmosphere above the EAS array at the Pico de Orizaba site (see O. Martinez et al., this conference), separated from the FD by ˜ 5k m. At night at energies E0 > 0.05EeV both FD and EAS array will operate as an "hybrid detector." The range of atmosphere depths available for observation of EAS tracks by FD in hybrid mode is 200g /cm2. FD will also observe EAS tracks at energies of about 1 EeV at distances R=25-50 km, at zenith angles > 450 (when the atmosphere depth is more than 850g /cm2 ) with direction of tracks perpendicular to the FD axis. The FD design and preliminary data of the FD performance will be presented.
