I have a question regarding the MLI that covers the AMS-02 top radiator. Will the MLI blanket with the lettering AMS be removed or is a permanent blanket?Thanks.
I _highly_ recommend going to the NASA Youtube or John44's archive site and grabbing the press conference from the first attempt. There was a very good explainer, with graphics and research, showing what AMS will do. Also Analog's post is perfect with their homepage.
Changing the title as you shouldn't start a thread saying that we need to start one. Next time please just use a regular title.
AMS continues to operate on ISS nominally. Yesterday, AMS received ~50 million events and collected 90 Gb of data! This is more data than expected!
