Abstract
⺠We review the relevant issues for the detection of extensive air showers from space. ⺠We define the requirements for a suitable telescope orbiting around the Earth. ⺠We estimate the expected performances in ideal conditions. ⺠The design of a space-based telescope is a very challenging task. ⺠It is very important to optimize its performances and set safe design margins.
