This paper presents the current status of the PAMELA magnetic spectrometer. The experiment is devoted to the investigation of the origin of the Universe baryon asymmetry, of the dark matter, of processes of cosmic rays generation and propagation in Galaxy and solar system, as well as of processes of solar modulation and interaction of cosmic rays with Earth’s magnetosphere. This will be achieved by means of precision measurements of the fluxes of cosmic antiparticles, electrons and light nuclei in the energy range 102 – 106 MeV. In the second part of 2003 the assembly of PAMELA and of the Russian Resurs DK-1 spacecraft will be finished, and complex integration tests will start. The launch of PAMELA will take place in early 2004.

Abstract
This paper presents the current status of the PAMELA magnetic spectrometer. The experiment is devoted to the investigation of the origin of the Universe baryon asymmetry, of the dark matter, of processes of cosmic rays generation and propagation in Galaxy and solar system, as well as of processes of solar modulation and interaction of cosmic rays with Earth’s magnetosphere. This will be achieved by means of precision measurements of the fluxes of cosmic antiparticles, electrons and light nuclei in the energy range 102 – 106 MeV. In the second part of 2003 the assembly of PAMELA and of the Russian Resurs DK-1 spacecraft will be finished, and complex integration tests will start. The launch of PAMELA will take place in early 2004.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
