The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector which operates onboard the International Space Station since May 2011, collecting 17 billion Cosmic Rays (CRs) triggers every year. With its large acceptance, long exposure time and excellent sub-detector performance, AMS-02 can measure CRs fluxes with unprecedented precision in a wide energy range. In this contribution the main results achieved by AMS-02 in 9.5 years of operations will be presented and discussed.
