Abstract

The High Energy Cosmic Ray Observatory (HERO) is an experimental design for the direct study of cosmicrays based on the use of an ultra-heavy ionization calorimeter. The effective geometric factor of the facilitywill be at least 12 2sr for cosmic-ray protons and at least 16–20 2sr for nuclei and electrons. During 5–7 years of exposure, this mission will make it possible to measure the energy spectra of all common andrare cosmic-ray nuclei in the energy region 1012–1016 eV/particle with element-by-element resolution ofthe charge of nuclei and with sufficiently high energy resolution. It is planned to study not only the chargerange of cosmic-ray nuclei Z=1−26, but also the detection of super-heavy nuclei beyond the iron peak,as well as high-energy electrons, positrons and gamma rays. The main objectives, design appearance andcharacteristics of the space mission are discussed.
