Description
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE; also known as ``Wukong'') is a satellite-borne, calorimetric-type particle detector that has been smoothly operating in space for more than 9 years since its launch in December 2015. DAMPE is designed to detect cosmic rays and gamma rays up to unprecedentedly high energies, benefited with its large geometric area and thick imaging calorimeter. The outstanding charge and energy resolution enable DAMPE to have a powerful potential for its major scientific goals including the indirect detection of dark matter in space, comic-ray physics, and gamma-ray astronomy. Here, we first give an overview of the DAMPE mission and its on-orbit operation status in the last 9 years. Then, we highlight the latest scientific results from DAMPE regarding cosmic-ray and gamma-ray observations.
