Abstract

This article describes the performance and the architecture of the power supply system for the Tracker detector in the AMS-02 experiment. Qualification tests results on assembled crates will be also presented. The AMS-02 experiment will be installed in the International Space Station (ISS); it will measure the cosmic ray spectrum from 0.5 GeV up to several TeV looking for anti-matter, dark matter and strange quark matter. A preliminary version of the experiment has successfully flown in 1998 on the STS-91 space shuttle flight. The power supply system for the Tracker detector was used as a guideline for the other power supply systems in the experiment.
