Abstract
In this note, we report the results of a simulation of the galactic component of high energy gamma rays, as seen by the future AMS-02 experiment on-board the International Space Station. The purpose of AMS is to measure the Cosmic Ray spectra of numerous particles with unprecedented accuracy. This simulation has been performed with the GALPROP code and its output interfaced with the AMS Fast Simulator, to produce a sky-map of yearly counts in the AMS energy range (over 1 GeV).
