DAMPE (The Dark Matter Particle Explorer) is the first dedicated astrophysics observatory put into orbit by China. The satellite is planned to study high-energy cosmic rays for signals hinting at hypothesized clumps of dark matter that have eluded detection for decades. Fitted with detectors sensitive to gamma rays, electrons and high-energy cosmic rays, the DAMPE satellite will scoop up particles speeding through the cosmos and measure their energy, direction and electric charge.
