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.
