The astrophysical complex TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic-ray physics and Gamma-ray Astronomy), whose first phase is being completed in the Tunka valley 50 km from Lake Baikal, is described. Its research program, first results, and development prospects are discussed.

We report on the current status of the TUS space mission project: its goals and the progress achieved so far. The Fresnel mirrors design, performed checks and their production are discussed. Also we discuss our future plans including auxiliary analysis of the fluorescence light yield measured this year by LAPP (Annecy), JINR (Dubna) and LIP (Lisbon) MACFLY Collaboration.

The KLYPVE space experiment has been proposed to study the energy spectrum, composition, and arrival direction of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) by detecting from satellites the atmosphere fluorescence and scattered Cherenkov light produced by EAS, initiated by UHECR particles. The TUS setup is a prototype KLYPVE instrument. The aim of the TUS experiment is to detect dozens of UHECR events in the energy region of the GZK cutoff, to measure the light background, to test the atmosphere control methods, and to study stability of the optical materials, PMTs, and other instrumental parts in space environment.
