The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is designed for anti-matter and dark matter searches and for cosmic ray measurements in the GeV to TeV range. Its central part is a silicon tracker with 10 µm spatial resolution and a dynamic range of 1 to 100 MIPS for dE/dx measurements. An operational period of 3 years is scheduled on the International Space Station (ISS) starting in 2004. A precursor flight on a Space Shuttle occured in 1998 with a reduced silicon surface of 2 m2 . The construction of the 7 m2 second phase is in progress. We discuss the design, construction and performance of the detector.
