Scientific paper

The OWL-AirWatch space mission, jointly supported by an Italian Consortium (Air Watch) and a US Consortium (OWL) with a possible extension to Groups from Japan, is devoted to the imaging analysis of the UV atmospheric fluorescence induced by the Extreme Energy Cosmic Radiation (E > 1019 eV). The objective is to obtain a detailed description of the CR energy spectrum beyond the GZK limit, together with a map of the arrival direction and to possibly open the channel of Cosmic Neutrino Astronomy in this energy range. The mission foresees a Midex class Free Flyer with a low (h~500 Km) circular near equatorial orbit and a target launch date around 2005.
