7. Naoto SAKAKI, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Institute for Nuclear Physics (IKP) 72016/3/5 Summary EAS events simulated with Auger Offline can be treated with the ESAF detector simulation and the ESAF reconstruction modules now. TA-EUSO and EUSO-Balloon optics simulation codes have been implemented into ESAF. It will be ready soon for mass data production. ESAF importer module for Auger Offline is planed in the near future. JEM-EUSO telescope /electronics Offline modules are also planed. TA-EUSO & Balloon-EUSO meeting @ Rome, Nov. 8-9, 2012
