Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays

I removed a reference to AMS detecting ultrahigh energy cosmic rays, which it cannot (its acceptance is far too small by factors of millions or more). The original comment was most likely talking about high-energy gamma rays (1-300 GeV for AMS). UHECRs are particles with energies of EeV or more, and are impossible to detect directly due to their low flux (1/square km/century and lower). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.203.20.177 (talk) 18:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit of error

I found an error stating that the flight was indeed a go. I changed the wording to indicate it may noy happen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.220.175.126 (talk) 01:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How it works

Nice to have details about what it does, but it would be nice also to know how it works. Thanks. Hektor (talk) 07:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We're working on it! Watch this space... Aldebaran66 (talk) 07:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image of prelaunch processing of AMS-01.

Thought this might come in handy. Colds7ream (talk) 18:09, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific goals too confident?

AMS will provide a definitive answer on the existence of this extraordinary matter. -- Isn't this a little bit too confident?
