The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS): search for antimatter and dark matter on the International Space Station
The disappearance of cosmological antimatter and the pervasive presence of dark matter are two of the greatest puzzles in the current understanding of the universe. The Big Bang model assumes that, at its very beginning, half of the universe was made out of antimatter. The validity of this model is based on three key experimental observations: the recession of galaxies (Hubble expansion), the h...
متن کاملThe AMS-02 detector operation in space
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is a large acceptance instrument conceived for the search of primordial anti-matter and dark matter on board the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting at ∼400 km from the earth surface. Nine layers of double sided silicon microstrip detectors track with a single point resolution of 10 µm the charged particle trajectories bent in the magnetic field of a perma...
متن کاملThe ALTCRISS project on board the International Space Station
The Altcriss project aims to perform a long term survey of the radiation environment on board the International Space Station. Measurements are being performed with active and passive devices in different locations and orientations of the Russian segment of the station. The goal is perform a detailed evaluation of the differences in particle fluence and nuclear composition due to different shie...
متن کاملCultural factors and the International Space Station.
The American and Russian/Soviet space programs independently uncovered psychosocial risks inherent in long-duration space missions. Now that these two countries are working together on the International Space Station (ISS), American-Russian cultural differences pose an additional set of risk factors. These may echo cultural differences that have been observed in the general population of the tw...
متن کاملUtilization of the International Space Station as
We have conducted an initial set of tests to examine how astronauts in the International Space Station (ISS) can remotely operate a planetary rover. These tests, called “Surface Telerobotics”, were designed to simulate a possible future lunar exploration mission, in which astronauts inside the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) use a surface robot to remotely explore the lunar far side fro...
