The Cosmic Radiation, with its charged and neutral components, can be considered the second fundamental channel for the investigation of the Universe complementing the “Electromagnetic” specific of the conventional Astronomy. The experimental approach considered here is based on the observation from a Low Orbit Satellite of the UV fluorescence signal produced in the Earth atmosphere by the incoming radiation. A general description is given of the AIR WATCH/OWL experiment; some detail will also be given of “EUSO”: Extreme Universe Space Observatory” a proposal which is being submitted to the European Space Agency in response to an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) issued on October 1999.
