As a unique state-of-the-art particle physics detector, the Alpha
Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) will search for signs of antimatter and dark
matter in Space. Designed to operate as an external module on the
International Space Station following its deployment scheduled next February
with STS-134,, it will help us to understand the origin and structure of the
Universe. The AMS-02 observations will help answering fundamental questions,
such as “What makes up the universe’s invisible mass?” or “What did happen to
the primordial antimatter?”
