May 19 dark matter, satellites, dark matter satellite,

AMS-02, which was installed on May 19, 2011, was originally intended to function for only three years. The data from these studies helps scientists comprehend whether cosmic dark matter and antimatter exist in huge amounts in the cosmos, as well as the genesis and spread of cosmic ray particles in our Milky Way galaxy. These findings may also aid scientists in better understanding the radiation hazards associated with future crew trips to the Moon and Mars, as some cosmic rays can be detrimental to humans. AMS-02 has acquired data from almost 175 billion cosmic ray occurrences over its lifespan. According to NASA's AMS Project Manager Ken Bollweg, data gathered by AMS-02 is thoroughly filtered, with less than one of 1,000 occurrences initially recorded being retained.
