Abstract:
This talk is a review of the design and qualifications of the PAMELA antimatter spectrometer, which was launched in summer 2006 after many years of preparation and eager anticipation by the international astrophysics community. Beside summarizing the design and performance of the instrument on ground and in flight I will give a few insights on the analysis which is at present progressing full steam.
