Three European astronauts at CERN Data Centre

From the creator

On 12 May 2017, CERN welcomed three European astronauts : Samantha Cristoforetti, Helen Sharman and Claude Nicollier. Watch this video to find out more about their visit and their thoughts about CERN. CERN has also a lot to do with space! The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a particle-physics detector that was assembled at CERN. AMS looks for dark matter, antimatter and missing matter from a module attached to the outside of the International Space Station (ISS). It also performs precision measurements of cosmic rays. Data are received by NASA in Houston, and then relayed to the AMS Payload Operations Control Centre (POCC) at CERN for analysis. Find out more about AMS: http://cern.ch/go/hRJ9 Copyright © 2017 CERN.
