Scientific paper

The use of a large superconducting magnet (Astromag) on the Columbus Space Station to study charged particles of nonsolar origin is discussed. Astromag can be used to measure the spectra of antiprotons and positons; search for antihelium; determine chemical composition in the TeV range; and measure the isotopic composition of cosmic ray nuclei. A configuration using one end of the magnet for a matter antimatter spectrometer and the other for a cosmic ray isotope spectrometer is proposed.
