After nearly a century since their discovery, much is still uncertain about cosmic rays, including their source, acceleration mechanism, and propagation. Direct measurement of cosmic-ray elemental spectra in the critical energy range of 10(12) - 10(15) eV offers a promising avenue to answering these...
