  The TurLab facility is a laboratory, equipped with a 5 m diameter and 1 m
depth rotating tank, located in the Physics Department of the University of
Turin. Originally, it was mainly built to study systems of different scales
where rotation plays a key role in the fluid behavior such as in atmospheric
and oceanic flows. In the past few years the TurLab facility has been used to
perform experiments related to the observation of Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays
(EECRs) from space using the fluorescence technique. For example, in the case
of the JEM-EUSO mission, where the diffuse night brightness and artificial
light sources can vary significantly in time and space inside the Field of View
of the telescope. The Focal Surface of Mini-EUSO Engineering Model (Mini-EUSO
EM) with the level 1 (L1) and 2 (L2) trigger logics implemented in the
Photo-Detector Module (PDM) has been tested at TurLab. Tests related to the
possibility of using an EUSO-like detector for other type of applications such
as Space Debris (SD) monitoring and imaging detector have also been pursued.
The tests and results obtained within the EUSO@TurLab Project on these
different topics are presented.
