How long? 16 Years Long!

It is almost unbelievable : it demand 16 years to built theAlpha Magnetic Spectrometer ( AMS-02 ) experiment . This part sentence - lapse vid above testify us the whole outstanding workplace progress in less than three and a half minute .

As these particles pass through AMS-02 , the instruments put down their swiftness , Department of Energy and commission . The project is one of the largest scientific coaction of all time demand 56 institutes from 16 countries . The instrument was tested at ESA ’s technical quickness ESTEC in the Netherlands before being shipped to the US for launching on Space Shuttle Endeavour . As part of his DAMA mission , ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori controlled the Shuttle ’s robotic arm that transfer the 6918 kg pawn to the International Space Station in 2011.Read more about the AMS-02 and the Modern findings ( antimatter or what ! ! ) here .
