Description
Direct measurements of the chemical composition and fluxes of cosmic rays have always played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of their acceleration and propagation mechanisms. Direct cosmic-ray observations are possible – with the current technologies – up to energies of about 10^14 eV. In this talk I will give an overview of the physics of cosmic rays by direct measurements, describing the characteristics of the available space platforms and mentioning the most relevant experiments existing in the field.
