Abstract

A theoretical foundation is laid for the development of a radio detector for cosmic rays with energies E≥1021 eV. The detection system envisages a radio detector on the Earth or a system of radio antennas on artificial lunar satellites, which would record the radio emission pulse produced by a shower in the lunar soil.
