The GAMMA-400 gamma-ray telescope with excellent angular and energy resolutions is designed to search for signatures of dark matter in the fluxes of gamma-ray emission and electrons + positrons. Precision investigations of gamma-ray emission from Galactic Center, Crab, Vela, Cygnus, Geminga, and other regions will be performed, as well as diffuse gamma-ray emission, along with measurements of...

The description of the onboard experiment MONICA for study of the fluxes of cosmic ray energetic ions from H to Ni in the energy range 10-300 MeV/n in near-Earth space is presented.
The MONICA main scientific goal is the measurement of the ion charge states, as well as elemental, isotope composition and energy spectra of Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) fluxes for individual SEP events, and...

Measurements of electron and positron spatial distributions in energy range from 80 MeV to several GeV below the geomagnetic cutoff rigidity were carried out using the PAMELA magnetic spectrometer.
The instrument is installed on board the Resurs-DK satellite which was launched June 15th 2006 on an elliptical orbit with the inclination 70 degrees and the altitude 350-600 km.
The procedure...

The orbital spectrometer PAMELA is the first instrument allowing direct measurement of solar relativistic particles. Before such information was obtained from the ground-based installations – neutron monitors which detected the secondary particle component generated by the solar energetic particles (SEP) in the Earth’s atmosphere. Moreover, the data in the SEP energy range of several hundred...

On the 15th of June 2006, the PAMELA satellite-borne experiment was launched
from the Baikonur cosmodrome and it has been collecting data since July 2006. The apparatus comprises a time-of-flight system, a silicon-microstrip magnetic spectrometer, a silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter, an anti-coincidence system, a shower tail counter scintillator and a neutron detector. The...
