Abstract

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a spaceborne experiment, installed on board an instrumented satellite, launched on 17 December 2015 into a Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of about 500 km. The detector is smoothly taking data since then and has collected more than 5 · 109 cosmic rays events in 3 years. DAMPE is the result of an active cooperation between Italy, China and Switzerland in order to pursue the following scientific goals: indirect research of dark matter particles, study of cosmic rays spectrum and high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. DAMPE is designed to operate for at least three years, and will probably be extended to a longer lifetime given the excellent current instrument status. In this paper the latest data analysis results will be presented.
