Abstract
The AMS-02 detector is operating on the International Space Station since May 2011. More than 30 billion events have been collected by the instrument in the first two years of data taking. A precision measurement of the positron fraction and of the positron flux in primary cosmic rays up to 350 GeV, of the electron flux up to 500 GeV and of the combined electron plus positron flux up to 700 GeV are presented. The separate and combined electron and positron fluxes are preliminary and represent work in progress. Systematic uncertainties must still be investigated further.
