After more than a decade in space, the AMS detector on the ISS is due for another upgrade. With its augmented potential for discovery, it will be able to investigate dark-matter-like signatures from cosmic rays
Astronaut Thomas Pesquet has activated Lumina, an optical fibre-based dosimetry experiment on board the International Space Station
The third spacewalk will see astronauts Luca Parmitano and Andrew Morgan install the new cooling pump system for the AMS detector tracker
Watch the first of several spacewalks for AMS live on Friday 15 November from 12.50 p.m. CET
Having docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on 25 August 2015, CALET is carrying out a full science programme
An out-of-this world visit took place at CERN on 12 May
The 200th ISS spacewalk included a new installation on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS)
On Friday 12 May at 4:30pm CEST, we will be live on Facebook, from the CERN Data Centre, with three European astronauts answering your questions
Astronaut Tim Peake is on the International Space Station with a Timepix chip from the CERN@School project
The CALorimetric Electron Telescope reached the ISS on 24 August. It will perform long-exposure observations of high-energy cosmic radiation
The CALorimetric Electron Telescope is preparing for installation in the flight module that will bring it to its final destination on the ISS
Astronaut Ernst Messerschmid's experience at CERN was an important factor in the process that led to his becoming one of the first Germans in space
