Five Years of Pamela in Orbit
Abstract
In the 5 years of data taking and analysis the PAMELA observatory made important unforeseen observations on the energy spectra of protons and helim nuclei (precisely measured on a very wide energy range of more than three decades) and on the flux of positrons. Other outstanding results were also obtained in other observations of cosmic rays and on the behavior of heliosphere and magnetosphere. PAMELA observatory will continue its activity in next future with the accurate study of the energetic tail of solar phenomena. Other missions will follow (AMS-2, CALET, Gamma-400, JEM-EUSO), presently in different stage of their realization
