The satellite-borne experiment PAMELA (A Payload for Antimatter-Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics) has been continuously collecting data since June 15th of 2006, when it was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome. Its main scientific goal is the detection of the charged component of the cosmic radiation over a wide energy range and with high precision. The apparatus design is...

The satellite-borne PAMELA experiment was launched on the 15th June 2006 from the Baikonur cosmodrome. Till January 2016 PAMELA has detected the charged component of cosmic-rays over a wide energy range measuring both particles and antiparticles. In particular, as a result of its highly inclined orbit, the instrument samples low geomagnetic cut-off regions and can explore in detail the low...

The PAMELA satellite experiment, in low Earth orbit since June 2006, is providing comprehensive observations of the Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events between solar cycles 23 and 24. Its unique capabilities include the possibility of accurately measuring the SEP energetic spectra in a large interval (>80 MeV), encompassing the low energy data by other space-based instruments and the Ground...

Solar activity was at its lowest level since the beginning of the space exploration era from 2006 to 2009. During this period, the PAMELA space experiment observed spectra for galactic protons and electrons down to 70 MV and 400 MV, respectively, during what is called an A < 0 solar magnetic polarity cycle. This provides the opportunity to study charge-sign-dependent modulation under very...
