Description

Silicon tracking detectors are playing a crucial role in space-borne astroparticle experiments for the measurement of both charged cosmic rays and gamma rays.
The technology used for accelerator based experiments has been proven to work properly in space with high reliability and is used in several running and planned experiments.
I will review the current experiments equipped with silicon microstrips detector and will give an overview on the future mission that plan to use microstrips or pixel semiconductor detectors.
