AMS-02 is a space borne magnetic spectrometer designed to measure with accuracies up to one part in 109 the composition of Cosmic Rays near Earth. With a large acceptance (5000 cm2sr), an intense magnetic field from a superconducting magnet (0.7 T) and an accurate particle identifications AMS-02 will provide the highest accuracy in Cosmic Rays measurements up to the TeV region. During a three years long mission on the ISS AMS-02 will achieve a sensitivity of one part in a billion to the existence of anti-He in the Cosmic Ray as well as important information on the origin of Dark Matter. During 2009 the superconducting spectrometer has been fully integrated and commissioned at CERN. At the beginning of January 2010 AMS-02 will be transported to the ESA ESTEC facilities for system level space qualification in preparation for the launch scheduled at Kennedy Space Center in summer 2010. We report here some highlights of the results of the commissioning phase.
