After more than a decade in space, the AMS detector on the ISS is due for another upgrade. With its augmented potential for discovery, it will be able to investigate dark-matter-like signatures from cosmic rays

19 May 2021 marks 10 years since the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer was installed on the International Space Station and started sending data back to Earth

The properties are unexpectedly different from those of other heavy primary cosmic rays

Cosmic-ray data collected by the AMS detector on the International Space Station again challenge conventional theory of cosmic-ray origin and propagation

The study of light antinuclei – from creation to annihilation – will bolster future indirect dark matter searches

The third spacewalk will see astronauts Luca Parmitano and Andrew Morgan install the new cooling pump system for the AMS detector tracker

Watch the first of several spacewalks for AMS live on Friday 15 November from 12.50 p.m. CET
