Description
Quite recently the IceCube Collaboration has reported clear evidence for neutrinos of cosmic origin. Here we ask whether the proposed first generation of space-based cosmic ray detectors will be sensitive to the cosmic neutrino flux. We consider proposed scenarios for ultra-high energy cosmic ray detectors to be deployed aboard the International Space Station and estimate the expected rates for cosmic neutrino detection over different energy regimes.
