Abstract
The study of cosmic rays in the energy range from 1 to 1000 PeV is crucial for understanding their origins and propagation paths. As part of this research, a new SPHERE-3 installation is being developed, featuring enhanced light sensitivity and optical resolution, based on the experience gained with the balloon-borne SPHERE-2 installation. This report describes a computational complex designed for simulating the formation of Cherenkov light on the detector grid of the SPHERE-3 telescope.
