Fermi-LAT appears to be one of the most successful space telescope missions in history. The Large Area Telescope (LAT), the primary instrument on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) mission, is an imaging, wide field-of-view, high-energy gamma-ray telescope, covering the energy range from 30 MeV to more than 300 GeV. Since its launch in June of 2008, it collected about 2 Petabytes of...

Since May 2013, the Electron Proton Telescope (EPT) orbits at 820 km altitude on a polar LEO track (Cyamukungo et al. 2014; Pierrard et al. 2014).
The fluxes of trapped electrons ranging from 0.5 MeV to 20 MeV are measured by the EPT in 7 energy channels. We present and...

It was the 15th of June of 2006 when the PAMELA satellite-borne experiment was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakstan. Since then, PAMELA has been making high-precision measurements of the charged component of the cosmic radiation opening a new era of precision studies in cosmic rays.
The measured antiparticle component of the cosmic radiation shows features that can be...

Discussion about sources of energetic particles – solar cosmic rays (SCR) - emerging in the interplanetary space after an explosive energy release on the Sun lasts during more than 20 years. The main candidates for the SCR sources are a Solar flare and a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Enormous number of observational data is accumulated since 1942 when the SCR were observed for the first time....
