The EUSO detector, which will be installed on the International Space Station, will detect the light produced by the EAS generated by the UHECR when entering the Earth's atmosphere. The EUSO telescope will operate only during dark night. The light background in the EUSO detector is of outmost importance. To determine the detector duty cycle, it is necessary to know the periods in which it will be in the obscurity, taking into account both sun and moon precise ephemerides and the ISS trajectory. For signal to background determination and trigger efficiency study, the photon background has to be evaluated, taking into account the various UV light sources at night: natural sources as airglow, stars and diffuse light of the night sky, and artificial sources.
