description The TUS telescope, part of the scientific equipment on board the Lomonosov satellite, is the world’s first orbital detector of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Preliminary results from analyzing unexpected powerful signals that have been detected from the first days of the telescope’s operation are presented. These signals appear simultaneously in time intervals of around 1 μs in groups of adjacent pixels of the photodetector and form linear track-like sequences. The results from computer simulations using the GEANT4 software and the observed strong latitudinal dependence of the distribution of the events favor the hypothesis that the observed signals result from protons with energies of several hundred MeV to several GeV passing through the photodetector of the TUS telescope.
