To hunting of the antimatter in the space

The 29 you open them will leave to the time of the Station Spaces them International (ISS) space the Shuttle Endeavour on which there will be also the AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectometer) better famous also like  antimatter shooting jackets . The hung device 7 tons and stao is inserted yesterday inside of the Endeavour. The task to fix it to the Station for means of two robotici arms will be up to Roberto Vittori also he in the crew of the Shuttle.
Device AMS will serve in order to try to photograph the antimatter very remaining in orbit 10 years (even if in the expectations there is 2028) and photographing one to particles it spaces them in a position to covering its 5 meters of height to an equal speed to a miliardesimo of second. The complete name of AMS is AMS-2 as already a AMS-1 has existed that was served like experiment pilot launch from the Shuttle Discovery in 1998. For the construction of this device 600 coming scientists from 15 various countries are served very. For Italy they have given to their contribution the Infn and the Asi.
One of the scientists of the Roberto, National Institute for Nuclear Physics Battiston, explains the importance of this mission that could give answers to still unsolved question marks:  In the space the cosmic rays to the highest energies travel, much more intense than those which we are in a position to recreating on the Earth. Inner Al they are many types of particles, some disowned details and. We want to take their  prints we type them before  that they enter in contact with the terrestrial atmosphere and come degraded .
