摘要：

Recent results on primary cosmic rays of energies above 1 x 10(19) eV observed by the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) are summarized, together with the results of previous experiments by other groups. The implications of these results for their origin and propagation through the intergalactic space are discussed. The next generation experiments, the HiRes Detector, the Telescope Array Project and the Auger Project, are now under preparation. Their present status is briefly presented.
