It's been more than a year since AMS, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometre, was launched by the Space Shuttle and attached to the International Space Station with the support of ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori.

AMS is the largest ISS' scientific instrument. It is a cosmic rays detector developed in Europe at CERN, near Geneva, to observe antimatter and dark matter.

This video explains what AMS is doing from its outpost in space.

This A & B Roll includes interviews with Nobel Prize Laureate Samuel Ting, AMS Principal Scientist (in English) and Roberto Battiston, AMS Project deputy (in Italian).
