SUMMARY:The JEM-EUSO Space Mission for the Extreme Universe: Frontier Astro
 particle Physics @ ZeV energy range from Space.
DESCRIPTION:The JEM-EUSO Space Mission for the Extreme Universe: Frontier A
 stroparticle Physics @ ZeV energy range from Space.\nDr. Maria Dolores Rod
 ríguiez Frías\n\nThe Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO) Space Pro
 gram on the International Space Station (ISS) is the first space-based mis
 sion worldwide in the field of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) and E
 xtremely High Energy Cosmic Rays (EHECR) and will contribute to consolidat
 e a new window in the astronomical observation at the highest energies nev
 er observed neither with ground-based nor space-based experiments. Current
 ly the international groups working on ground-based UHECR experiments are 
 organized in the Pierre Auger Collaboration (Argentina, South Hemisphere) 
 and theTelescope Array Collaboration (Utah, North Hemisphere). JEM-EUSO wi
 ll pioneer from Space the observation from ISS (North & South Hemisphe
 res) of the non thermal Universe and will provide a real breakthrough towa
 rd the understanding of the Extreme Universe at the highest energies never
  detected from Space. In this Severo Ochoa Seminar an overview of the JEM-
 EUSO Space Mission and the pathfinders currently being developed, EUSO-BAL
 LOON of the French Space Agency (CNES) and MINI-EUSO (ISS) of the Russian 
 Space Agency (Roscosmos) will be presented. Moreover the Spanish Contribut
 ion to this EUSO Program under a Coordinated Proposal of MINECO, that invo
 lves Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Instituto Nacional
  de Técnica Aerospacial (INTA), Universidad Politécnica de M
 adrid (UPM), Univesidad de Leon (ULE) and Universidad de Alcalá (UA
 H) will be reviewed as well.
