The Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) on the ACE spacecraft has been measuring the isotopic composition of Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) since October 1997. Using selected data from the past seventeen years, we have a set of 3.55 x 10^5 Fe nuclei in the energy interval ~240 to ~470 MeV/nucleon with excellent mass resolution characterized by sigma = 0.24 amu. In this data set we have...

The SuperTIGER (Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder) experiment was launched on a long-duration balloon flight from Williams Field, Antarctica, on December 8, 2012. SuperTIGER flew for a total of 55 days at a mean atmospheric depth of 4.4 g/cm^2. The instrument measured the abundances of galactic cosmic rays in the charge (Z) range Z ≥ 10 with excellent charge resolution, displaying well...

SuperTIGER (Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder) is a large-area balloon-borne instrument built to measure the galactic cosmic-ray abundances of elements from Z=10 (Ne) through Z=56 (Ba) at energies from 0.8 to ~10 GeV/nuc. SuperTIGER successfully flew around Antarctica for a record-breaking 55 days, from December 8, 2012 to February 1, 2013. In this paper, we present results of an analysis...

One of the main results of the ATIC experiment is a collection of energy spectra of abundant cosmic ray nuclei – protons, He, C, O, Ne, Mg, Si, Fe measured in terms of the energy per particle in energy range from 50 GeV to tenths of TeV. In this report the ATIC energy spectra of abundant nuclei are back propagated to the spectra in sources in terms of magnetic rigidity using a number of...

The "knee" energy range 1015 - 1016 eV is a crucial region for the understanding of the Cosmic Rays (CR) origin, acceleration and propagation in our Galaxy. The NUCLEON satellite experiment is designed to investigate directly a cosmic ray nuclei energy spectrum and the chemical composition from 100 GeV to 1000 TeV and the atomic charge range up to Z~40 as well as a cosmic ray electron...
