AMS is a state-of-the-art cosmic ray particle physics detector located on the exterior of the International Space Station.<\/p>\n<p>The briefing will be held in the James E. Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters at 300 E St. SW in Washington. It will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>The participants include:<br \/>\n&#8212; William Gerstenmaier, NASA associate administrator for Human Exploration and Operations<br \/>\n&#8212; Samuel Ting (participating by video link), AMS principal investigator, Massachusetts Institute of Technology<br \/>\n&#8212; Michael Salamon, U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science program manager for AMS<br \/>\n&#8212; Mark Sistilli, NASA AMS program manager<\/p>\n<p>Media representatives may ask questions from participating NASA centers or by telephone. To participate by phone, reporters must contact Rachel Kraft at 202-358-1100 or <a href=\"mailto:rachel.h.kraft@nasa.gov\">rachel.h.kraft@nasa.gov<\/a> by noon, April 3.<\/p>\n<p>AMS was constructed, tested and operated by an international team of 56 institutes from 16 countries and organized under U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science sponsorship. NASA&#8217;s Johnson Space Center in Houston manages the AMS Integration Project Office.<\/p>\n<p>AMS was launched on space shuttle Endeavour on May 16, 2011. Operations on the space station began three days later. AMS continues operations aboard the station today.<\/p>\n<p>For NASA TV streaming video, scheduling and downlink information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/ntv\">http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/ntv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about AMS and the International Space Station, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station\">http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, Sam Ting, head of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) experiment on the International Space Station hinted that they have found some very interesting results.
