Computational Astrophysics Laboratory promotes in JEM-EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory on the Japan experiment module of the International space station) mission that observes giant-air showers by ultra-high-Energy cosmic ray from the orbit. JEM-EUSO is a super wide-field (60 degrees) telescope with a diameter of 2.5 meters planed to be installed in International Space Station. Other active studies are running in parallel for the development of super-high speed special purpose computers and the large scale simulations of bio-molecules and formation process of super massive black-holes and its relation to hypernova/gamma-ray burst, computational materials science, and education with computers.
