Summary

We present precision high statistics measurements of primary cosmic ray protons, helium, carbon and oxygen fluxes by Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer in the rigidity range from 2 GV to 3 TV. These measurements are based on 1 billion of protons, 125 million of Helium, 14 million of Carbon and 12 million of Oxygen nuclei collected by AMS during the first 7 years of operation aboard the International Space Station. The properties of these primary cosmic rays will be discussed.
