AMS-02 project developed by TKK

Currently, Metsahovi is in close collaboration with CERN for the development of AMS-02 (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer). AMS-02 is the continuation of the the satellite launch at 1998 AMS, and which resulted as a total success. AMS-02 has been developed for the last 8 years for many research institutes of Europe and China,but specially by CERN and professor Dr. Samuel Ting. The aim of the project is to be launched earlier 2008 by NASA and be installed in one of the ISS arms to be able to operate for the 2 or 3 years.

Our role in the project is to provide help to the misssion in the Ground System Equipment and acquisition of data in the Johnson Space Center (Houston).In that sense, data achieved from the HRDL link must be capted and stored in a server, which needs to allow the access from the researcher for checking, revising and downloading to their respective working-sites.
