I will review the AMS-02 data and the measurements performed in the first 7-years of data taking. I will then discuss the perspectives of the AMS-02 cosmic ray data in the landscape of the current puzzling scenario of the astroparticle physics.

The DAMPE (DArk Matter Particle Explorer) satellite was launched on December 17th, 2015
and is in smooth data taking since few days after. It was designed in order to properly work for at least
three years and, thanks to its deep calorimeter, the precise tracking, and a large geometric factor,
is providing high quality measurements of leptonic and hadronic spectra up to about 10 and 100...

Deuterons are the most abundant secondary light isotopes among cosmic rays (CR) and thus are an extremely sensitive tool to test and constrain cosmic ray propagation models.
Another important feature of the deuteron component of CR is the particularly low threshold of the proton-proton fusion reaction, one of the most important contributors of the sub-GeV deuteron abundance, an energy range...

A few years from now, the HERD (High Energy Cosmic Radiation Detection) detector will be installed on the China's Space Station.
The main science objectives of HERD are searching dark matter particle, study of cosmic ray chemical composition up to the knee and high energy gamma-ray observations.
The main constraints imposed on HERD are: total weight less than around 2 tons and total power...
