Abstract

Paper contains the first results on the development of a SPHERE-3 telescope for the primary cosmic ray studies in 1–1000 PeV energy range using reflected and direct Cherenkov light generated by extensive air showers. It also sheds some light on the development of our new approach to the design of the new telescope.
