“How long”, the story of AMS-02 experiment’s video realized by out photographer Michele Famiglietti has been selected by the Imagine Science Film Festival for this year edition and will be screening on Monday, Oct 17 at 8:00 pm at The Bell House of New York. As stated in the official congratulations letter the film really speaks “to our mission of bringing closer together science/art and of communicating science in novel, visually-stimulating and narrative-driven ways”. AMS Collaboration is very honoured to

We welcome to Italy the Astronauts that four months ago delivered AMS-02 to the ISS! In the framework of a European Post Flight Tour of the STS134 and Expedition 26/27 mission, organized by ESA , ASI and INFN, commander Mark Kelly, pilot Gregory Johnson, and missions specialists Michael Finck, Greg Chamitoff, Andrew Feustel and Roberto Vittori (STS-134) and commander Scott Kelly and missions specialists Paolo Nespoli and Catherine Coleman (Exp. 26/27) will visit, among other official venues, INFN Laboratories and University Physics

In this video 16 years of preparation of AMS-02 become few blinks. The construction of AMS-02 is the result of a  worldwide effort undertaken by scientists from 16 different countries who now started analyzing the wealth of data downlinked from the ISS, looking for new, unexpected phenomena.

Since Monday June 27th 5:00 am GMT, AMS02 is controlled from the newly built POCC (Payload Operation Control Center) at CERN (Prevessin Side). 24/7 shifts are organized to monitor AMS-02 operation and the continuous flow of data to ground. The transition started on Wenesday June 22nd, and took place smoothly, initially with two shifts overlapping between JSC and CERN.  The average experiment donwlink rate is about 10 Mbps, with peaks at higher rate  to cope with the periods when the
