Cosmic rays originating from extraterrestrial sources are permanently arriving at Earth atmosphere, where they produce up to billions of secondary particles. The analysis the particles reaching surface may provide a very valuable information about Sun activity, changes in geomagnetic field and among others. In this article, we present first preliminary results cosmic measured with high resolution tracking detector, TRAGALDABAS, located Univ. Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
