Description
The magnetic spectrometer detector AMS-02 has been successfully operating since May 19th, 2011 outside of the International Space Station. More than 230 billion events have been collected by the AMS-02 instrument in 13 years of data taking. The analyses of the high-precision data collected by AMS-02 have been providing novel details and new insights on the composition, spectra, and time dependencies of antimatter and matter cosmic rays up to TeV energies. In this contribution we review the status and prospectives of the AMS mission, the recent AMS-02 measurements and the achieved advances in the understanding of cosmic ray origin, acceleration and propagation physics.
