Abstract
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a satellite orbiting at 500 km altitude in a Sun-synchronous orbit, taking data from its launch on December 17, 2015. DAMPE is composed by several particle detectors, working together to identify incoming particles and nuclei. Main goals of the DAMPE space mission are: study of cosmic-rays and electron-positron energy spectra, gamma-ray astronomy, and indirect dark matter search. The main results achieved by DAMPE will be presented in this work.
