Supersymmetry can only be realised in nature by doubling the Standard Model Particle Spectrum. None of these supersymmetric partners have been discovered, but their impact on the running of the coupling constants and electroweak observable, will be discussed. The lightest supersymmetric partner is a good candidate for dark matter. If the dark matter is indeed of a supersymmetric origin, their annihilation into energetic fermion-antifermion pairs can be detected by anomalous antimatter production in the universe. An indication for anomalous positron production was found by balloon experiments and will be further investigated by future space experiments.
