| Description |
Image taken by ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano during the first Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer maintenance spacewalk on 15 November 2019 from the International Space Station. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a sub-atomic particle detector that looks for dark matter, antimatter and measures cosmic rays - high energy particles that travel through space at close to the speed of light. The AMS took 16 countries nearly 20 years to develop. It was assembled at CERN, tested at ESA’s ESTEC facility in The Netherlands and installed on the Space Station in 2011. Since then it has collected over 145 billion cosmic ray events across a range of energy levels and has already provided the first insights into potential antimatter and dark matter. The maintenance of the AMS’ cooling system will ensure it can continue to provide more data and groundbreaking science. Credits: ESA/NASA–L. Parmitano iss061e040901 |
