Abstract

The study of the cosmic particle radiation is relevant both to astrophysics and particle physics. One example could be the fact that a direct measurement of the flux of p̄ and of e + is largely inconsistent with the secondary production in the collision of cosmic rays with the interstellar mater. An entirely new possibility of investigation will be offered to the study of the cosmic radiation by the Space Station program. The Space Station will be a permanent manned orbital complex, to be constructed in the 90s for scientific and technological research. Its existence will make possible the implementation outside the Earth's atmosphere, of large and sophisticated instruments, comparable to the ones currently installed at accelerators. ASTROMAG is the acronym for a large superconducting magnet to be installed on the Space Station as an experimental facility, to be equipped with particle detectors of various kinds.
