The scientific goal of the KOSMOTEPETL program is to observe and to study ultra high energy cosmic rays through the fluorescent tracks that they produce in the Earth atmosphere with the help of satellite based optical cameras based on the technology of a large mirror-concentrator of light. At low orbits (400-600 km) a mirror with an area of 400 m2 will allow us to observe neutrino induced horizontal tracks starting at the energy threshold of 1 EeV. With these neutrinos, which have to be produced in collisions of extreme energy cosmic rays (with energy >50 EeV) with background photons at distances >100 Mpc, the most distant cosmic ray sources will be revealed. Design of the TUS and KLYPVE detectors (the first detectors of the KOSMOTEPETL program with a mirror area 2 and 10 m2) is presented. .
