The GAMMA-400 Space Mission

Understand

GAMMA-400 is a new space mission which will be installed on board the Russian space platform Navigator.

• It is scheduled to be launched at the beginning of the next decade.
• GAMMA-400 is designed to study simultaneously gamma rays (up to 3 TeV) and cosmic rays (electrons and positrons from 1 GeV to 20 TeV, nuclei up to 10$^{15}$-10$^{16}$ eV).
• Being a dual-purpose mission, GAMMA-400 will be able to address some of the most impelling science topics, such as search for signatures of dark matter, cosmic-rays origin and propagation, and the nature of transients.
