Description
The exploration of the Extreme Universe, at energies around 10^20 eV, from space has now an history of studies and experimental and technological developments which traces back to about 20 years ago. In this contribution I will briefly summarize the science rationale behind the search from space of EECRs and I will then discuss the most recent developments of the studies on the EUSO configuration onboard the JEM module of the ISS. I will also present the current status of the pathfinder activities and potentially alternative mission scenarios.
