The two main advantages of space-based observation of extreme-energy (>~10^19 eV) cosmic-rays (EECRs) over ground-based observatories are the increased field of view and the all-sky coverage with nearly uniform systematics. The former guarantees increased statistics whereas the latter enables a partitioning of the sky into spherical harmonics. We have begun an investigation, using the...
