Return from space: from the ISS to CERN - A lecture by the astronauts of the AMS mission

<!--HTML-->Do not miss this rare opportunity to meet the AMS mission&rsquo;s six astronauts&nbsp;at CERN!<br /> On 16 May 2011, the space shuttle Endeavour <a href="https://cdsweb.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2011/21/News%20Articles/1352109?ln=en" target="_blank">took off</a> for the last time from Cape Canaveral in Florida with six astronauts on board. Their mission (code-named <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts134/main/index.html" target="_blank">STS-134</a>) was to install the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), the dark matter and antimatter detector <a href="https://cdsweb.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2011/17/News%20Articles/1345737?ln=en" target="_blank">designed at CERN</a>, on the International Space Station. Since then, AMS has been sending data <a href="https://cdsweb.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2011/11/News%20Articles/1334848?ln=en" target="_blank">to CERN</a> from space.<br /> In this lecture, the six AMS astronauts will present the STS-134 mission.<br /> The lecture follows a photo and autograph session held at the Globe of Science and Innovation at 4.20 pm.
