NUSES is a new space mission aiming to test innovative technological and observational approaches related to the study of cosmic radiation, astrophysical neutrinos, Sun-Earth environment, Space weather and magnetosphere-ionosphere-lithosphere coupling. The satellite will host two payloads, Terzina and Ziré. Ziré will perform measurements of electrons, protons and light nuclei from several MeV up to hundreds of MeV, for the study of low energy cosmic rays, space weather phenomena and possible Magnetosphere-Litosphere-Ionosphere Coupling signals. The experiment also aims to test new tools for photon detection in the energy range 0.1–50 MeV, allowing the investigation of transient phenomena and steady gamma sources. Terzina, by pointing towards the Earth’s limb, will monitor the light emissions from above and below the limb. It will observe the Cherenkov light produced by Extensive Air Showers (EASs) generated by cosmic ray primaries at energies E > 10 17 eV above the limb. On the other hand it will prove the observational concept of detecting astrophysical tau neutrinos showers emerging below the limb from the Earth’s crust. The scientific objectives and development status of the NUSES mission are reported.
