Direct measurements of cosmic rays

摘要

In this paper I will give a short overview of the physics of cosmicrays by direct measurements, describing the characteristics of the available spaceplatforms and mentioning the most relevant experiments existing in the field. PACS 96.50. sb — Composition, energy spectra and interactions. PACS 98.70. Sa -- Cosmic rays (including sources, origin, acceleration, and interac-tions).
