Preparation of the TUS space experiment for UHECR study

Abstract

We report on the current status of the TUS space mission project: its goals and the progress achieved so far. The Fresnel mirrors design, performed checks and their production are discussed. Also we discuss our future plans including auxiliary analysis of the fluorescence light yield measured this year by LAPP (Annecy), JINR (Dubna) and LIP (Lisbon) MACFLY Collaboration. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
