Radio emission from Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) showers detected after specular reflection off the Antarctic ice surface has been recently demonstrated by the ANITA balloon-borne experiment. An antenna observing a large area of ice or water from a mountaintop, a balloon or a satellite may be competitive with more conventional techniques. We present an estimate of the exposure of a high altitude antenna, which provides insight on the prospects of this technique for UHECR detection. We find that a satellite antenna may reach a significantly larger exposure than existing UHECR observatories, but an experimental characterization of the radio reflected signal is required to establish the potential of this approach. A balloon-borne or a mountaintop antenna are found not to be competitive under any circumstances.

A new calculation of Earth-skimming very- and ultra-high energy tau neutrinos
A new calculation of Earth-skimming tau neutrino detection shows POEMMA could probe diffuse and transient ultra-high-energy neutrino fluxes, with a 30-40% sensitivity uncertainty from interaction models.
