The Astromag (for astrophysics magnet) superconducting magnet facility to be flown aboard the Space Station in the late 1990s is described together with its scientific objectives. The Astromag facility is basically a magnetic spectrometer capable of determining the momentum per unit charge and the sign of the charge of fully ionized cosmic rays. The Astromag's science goals include investigating the origin and the evolution of matter in the Galaxy by direct sampling of Galactic material, examining cosmological models by searching for antimatter and an evidence of dark matter, and studying the origin of extremely energetic particles and their effects on the dynamics and evolution of the Galaxy. The Astromag's instrumentation will include an array of particle detectors (the WIZard instrument), a large spectrometer (LISA), and a stack of passive high-resolution track detectors in the Astromag's magnetic field (the SCIN/MAGIC instrument).
