1 00:00:06,349 --> 00:00:03,490 good morning and welcome back to the 2 00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:06,359 sts-134 pre-flight briefings here this 3 00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:07,919 hour we're going to have a little more 4 00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:10,440 information on endeavours primary cargo 5 00:00:14,870 --> 00:00:12,929 for the sts-134 mission the Alpha 6 00:00:16,939 --> 00:00:14,880 Magnetic Spectrometer and here to tell 7 00:00:19,730 --> 00:00:16,949 us about that we have a Trent Martin the 8 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:19,740 NASA AMS manager who's been working to 9 00:00:24,259 --> 00:00:21,840 help the AMS team get the instrument 10 00:00:26,779 --> 00:00:24,269 ready for space and professor Samuel T 11 00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:26,789 the AMS principal investigator and Nobel 12 00:00:30,109 --> 00:00:28,260 laureate and professor of physics at MIT 13 00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:30,119 so we'll start with some opening remarks 14 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:31,800 from those gentlemen and then take 15 00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:35,730 questions good morning my name is Trent 16 00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:38,100 Martin I am the AMS a project manager 17 00:00:43,450 --> 00:00:41,550 here at the Johnson Space Center AMS is 18 00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:43,460 a large high energy physics experiment 19 00:00:47,869 --> 00:00:45,780 designed to look for antimatter dark 20 00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:47,879 matter and to understand cosmic wave 21 00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:50,129 propagation from its perch on top of the 22 00:00:55,130 --> 00:00:52,920 International Space Station it is a US 23 00:00:58,189 --> 00:00:55,140 Department of Energy sponsored payload 24 00:01:00,319 --> 00:00:58,199 that is flown on on shuttle under a 25 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:00,329 Memorandum of Understanding between the 26 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:08,130 Department of Energy and NASA that's the 27 00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:15,179 let me tell you a little bit about the 28 00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:22,750 payload itself so the Department of 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:24,970 Energy relies upon the Massachusetts 30 00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:26,530 Institute of Technology and professor 31 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:30,820 ting to to develop and cultivate the 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:34,240 collaboration that we that we utilize 33 00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:37,090 for AMS the collaboration is made up of 34 00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:40,780 just about 60 Institute's from 16 35 00:01:46,050 --> 00:01:43,390 different countries each one of those 36 00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:46,060 collaboration members provide financial 37 00:01:51,660 --> 00:01:48,700 support collaboration personnel detector 38 00:01:54,510 --> 00:01:51,670 components science and ground support 39 00:01:57,779 --> 00:01:54,520 equipment operational support scientific 40 00:01:59,130 --> 00:01:57,789 analysis and essentially AMS has as many 41 00:02:00,749 --> 00:01:59,140 countries as the International Space 42 00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:00,759 Station does but we use different 43 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:02,920 institutes and different agencies than 44 00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:06,610 the ISS does making my job and professor 45 00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:11,040 ting tings job somewhat difficult and 46 00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:13,030 we're having some technical difficulties 47 00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:18,670 so so the responsibilities of my office 48 00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:22,239 here at NASA Johnson Space Center are to 49 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:24,150 provide payload integration activities 50 00:02:28,140 --> 00:02:26,650 NASA is responsible for providing the 51 00:02:29,910 --> 00:02:28,150 space shuttle ride to the International 52 00:02:32,490 --> 00:02:29,920 Space Station and operations once we're 53 00:02:35,009 --> 00:02:32,500 on the International Space Station we've 54 00:02:37,379 --> 00:02:35,019 been providing continuous support to the 55 00:02:40,559 --> 00:02:37,389 AMS collaboration since 1994 when the 56 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:40,569 collaboration began we provide numerous 57 00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:43,930 pieces of ground support equipment and 58 00:02:48,449 --> 00:02:45,940 flight support equipment essentially we 59 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:48,459 take the experiment components that are 60 00:02:52,710 --> 00:02:50,290 provided by the collaboration we 61 00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:52,720 integrate them into NASA built hardware 62 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:54,280 that that attaches them to the space 63 00:02:59,490 --> 00:02:57,370 station and also to the Space Shuttle we 64 00:03:01,860 --> 00:02:59,500 provide the single point of contact 65 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:01,870 between the collaboration and the rest 66 00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:04,329 of NASA whether that be the station 67 00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:05,950 program the shuttle program or the 68 00:03:12,089 --> 00:03:08,500 various centers Kennedy Johnson Goddard 69 00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:12,099 etc we have provided specialized test 70 00:03:16,050 --> 00:03:14,319 fixture some specialized transportations 71 00:03:17,610 --> 00:03:16,060 from all places around the world and 72 00:03:18,870 --> 00:03:17,620 professor King will go into the details 73 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:18,880 of all the different locations around 74 00:03:25,620 --> 00:03:22,690 the world where AMS began and was 75 00:03:27,270 --> 00:03:25,630 constructed we 76 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:27,280 ensure that the payload is safe for 77 00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:28,690 launch on the space shuttle and safer 78 00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:29,950 operations on the International Space 79 00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:32,080 Station and we provide a mentoring 80 00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:35,740 function for the physicist who in the 81 00:03:39,750 --> 00:03:37,030 beginning weren't very good at building 82 00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:39,760 spaceflight hardware but after this long 83 00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:42,790 are actually fairly good at it so if i 84 00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:45,670 can get picture one up here this picture 85 00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:49,120 shows the AMS sitting on the 86 00:03:56,490 --> 00:03:51,640 International Space Station it weighs 87 00:03:58,170 --> 00:03:56,500 fifteen thousand 251 pounds it takes up 88 00:04:00,660 --> 00:03:58,180 one quarter of the payload Bay in 89 00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:00,670 shuttle Endeavour bye-bye volume about 90 00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:04,060 one-half by mass it will sit on the s3 91 00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:07,000 upper inboard payload attached site on 92 00:04:11,540 --> 00:04:10,030 Space Station and it utilizes the 93 00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:11,550 detector components we have eight 94 00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:14,350 detector components and over 600 onboard 95 00:04:22,290 --> 00:04:18,100 computers to analyze the data in picture 96 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:22,300 to this is the AMS sitting in the space 97 00:04:26,340 --> 00:04:24,160 station processing facility at the 98 00:04:29,370 --> 00:04:26,350 Kennedy Space Center this picture was 99 00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:29,380 taken a few weeks ago and in picture 100 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:32,710 three you can see AMS being loaded into 101 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:35,890 the canister last week as we prepared to 102 00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:38,560 remove to move it out to the pad and in 103 00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:43,120 fact earlier this week we unloaded it 104 00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:44,680 from the canister out of the pad and the 105 00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:46,840 payload change-out room and tomorrow we 106 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:49,270 intend on putting AMS into the shuttle 107 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:52,330 endeavour payload bay if you can see 108 00:04:58,590 --> 00:04:55,930 picture for you can get a good idea of 109 00:05:03,240 --> 00:04:58,600 exactly how AMS works essentially what 110 00:05:06,630 --> 00:05:03,250 we're trying to do is detect the charge 111 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:06,640 of a particle we coupled we essentially 112 00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:09,130 take a large MRI shaped or donut shaped 113 00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:11,620 magnet it's similar to what you would 114 00:05:16,530 --> 00:05:14,590 find in a hospital for MRI turn it 115 00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:16,540 upright we put detectors down through 116 00:05:21,810 --> 00:05:18,520 the center of the of the magnet system 117 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:21,820 that can tell the a particular particles 118 00:05:26,970 --> 00:05:25,330 mass energy velocity and with coupling 119 00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:26,980 it with the magnetic field we can tell 120 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:28,420 the charge of the particle so if it's 121 00:05:31,710 --> 00:05:29,770 positively charged it bends one 122 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:31,720 direction in the magnetic field if it's 123 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:33,130 negatively charged it bends the other 124 00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:36,210 direction in the magnetic field 125 00:05:43,159 --> 00:05:40,710 next feature be okay if we can pull up 126 00:05:46,070 --> 00:05:43,169 animation number one I can't see the 127 00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:46,080 animations over here your pulp animation 128 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:49,160 of one this is the AMS detector itself 129 00:05:55,850 --> 00:05:54,690 as its rotating around the the first 130 00:05:57,439 --> 00:05:55,860 thing that you're going to see here this 131 00:05:59,089 --> 00:05:57,449 is the unique support structure this is 132 00:06:00,589 --> 00:05:59,099 the NASA built hardware that it provides 133 00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:00,599 the interface between the determine 134 00:06:05,930 --> 00:06:03,960 detector and the space shuttle this is 135 00:06:07,850 --> 00:06:05,940 the magnet system that provides us the 136 00:06:12,260 --> 00:06:07,860 capability of detecting the charge of 137 00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:12,270 the particles this is the payload tap 138 00:06:15,589 --> 00:06:13,800 system and the umbilical mechanism 139 00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:15,599 assembly these provide us the mechanical 140 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:17,310 electrical interfaces to this to the 141 00:06:21,740 --> 00:06:19,650 station this is a transition radiation 142 00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:21,750 detector the uppermost detector of AMS 143 00:06:25,249 --> 00:06:23,820 the time of flight systems which allow 144 00:06:27,890 --> 00:06:25,259 us to detect the velocity of the 145 00:06:29,570 --> 00:06:27,900 particles the tracker system which is 146 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:29,580 down through the bore of the of the 147 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:31,050 magnet system and allows us to 148 00:06:37,210 --> 00:06:33,360 accurately define the path of the 149 00:06:39,529 --> 00:06:37,220 particles the video counter allows us to 150 00:06:40,969 --> 00:06:39,539 eliminate particles coming in from the 151 00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:40,979 side down at the bottom we have the ring 152 00:06:45,350 --> 00:06:42,990 imaging shrink off counter and the 153 00:06:50,029 --> 00:06:45,360 electromagnetic calorimeter is the last 154 00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:50,039 detector of AMS all of that data goes 155 00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:51,960 out to the radiators and electronic 156 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:53,310 systems which are mounted out on the 157 00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,090 outside edges of AMS and so that's a 158 00:07:02,860 --> 00:06:59,280 quick overview of what of what professor 159 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:05,409 when one thing I might note about the 160 00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:08,130 permanent magnet that we're using on AMS 161 00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:11,070 is it does not interfere with any 162 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:14,520 passing e VA or EVR da crew members or 163 00:07:28,060 --> 00:07:22,730 okay I think we have one more animation 164 00:07:32,830 --> 00:07:31,390 okay so once ARS is launched on the on 165 00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:32,840 the endeavor and makes its way to the 166 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:34,310 International Space Station we will 167 00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:36,170 utilize the space shuttle arm to pick a 168 00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:39,230 ms up out of the payload Bay we do an 169 00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:42,470 armed arm hand off where we use the 170 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:44,030 space station arm to reach over and grab 171 00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:47,330 the AMS using graph two different sets 172 00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:49,390 of grapple fixtures that we have on AMS 173 00:07:58,810 --> 00:07:53,360 once we do the handoff we move it over 174 00:08:02,920 --> 00:07:58,820 into position above the s3 truss and we 175 00:08:04,980 --> 00:08:02,930 will drop it down well hopefully I drop 176 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:04,990 it down we'll set it down gently onto 177 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:08,930 the International Space Station once in 178 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:11,330 place we connect through through the 179 00:08:16,570 --> 00:08:13,130 umbilical mechanism assembly and attach 180 00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:16,580 it electrically for electrical and data 181 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:19,880 purposes to the space station once on 182 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:23,210 space station we turn on AMS almost 183 00:08:29,260 --> 00:08:27,110 immediately will will prepare the system 184 00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:29,270 for taking scientific data and we can 185 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:31,670 actually be taking data as soon as the 186 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:34,490 power comes on to AMS so within within a 187 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:38,090 few minutes actually I think that's the 188 00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:42,650 last animation that I had I will now 189 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:45,110 leave the rest of the discussion of 190 00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:47,930 science to the scientist and I'll turn 191 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,200 it over to Professor Samuel ting 192 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:52,880 professor tang is a Nobel laureate from 193 00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:54,110 the Massachusetts Institute of 194 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:56,600 Technology he's been leading the AMS 195 00:09:01,360 --> 00:08:58,370 collaboration since its inception in 196 00:09:02,830 --> 00:09:01,370 1994 it's been a great pleasure to work 197 00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:02,840 with him I've been working with him 198 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:07,880 since 1995 on AMS and I'll let professor 199 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:19,180 it's nice to be here today I actually 200 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:23,930 got a good batch I can tell me what I 201 00:09:29,129 --> 00:09:26,170 would like no first 202 00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:29,139 what I would like to do today is to 203 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:34,560 share with you the signs and the 204 00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:39,519 construction of a AMS the first thing 205 00:09:46,110 --> 00:09:42,720 you need to realize in physics 206 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:46,120 everything appear to be complicated but 207 00:09:53,939 --> 00:09:50,410 the basic idea is always very simple and 208 00:10:00,210 --> 00:09:53,949 I hope I can transmit this impression to 209 00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:00,220 you so AMS will be the only large 210 00:10:13,230 --> 00:10:06,550 physical science experiment on the US is 211 00:10:17,220 --> 00:10:13,240 s national laboratory next one so what 212 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:17,230 on this picture is shows the largest 213 00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:20,889 accelerator in the world course earn it 214 00:10:27,870 --> 00:10:24,070 has a circumference of 16 miles it's 215 00:10:32,180 --> 00:10:27,880 about the hundred meter to 300 meter 216 00:10:37,889 --> 00:10:32,190 underground and inside they are a 217 00:10:41,130 --> 00:10:37,899 thousand magnet cool to near absolute 218 00:10:44,990 --> 00:10:41,140 zero temperature at that temperature 219 00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:45,000 Adams no longer move in the wire so 220 00:10:50,610 --> 00:10:47,560 electricity can go through without 221 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:50,620 resistance still that what you call 222 00:10:56,670 --> 00:10:53,370 super conductivity and you are able to 223 00:11:00,540 --> 00:10:56,680 move large amount of current therefore 224 00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:00,550 generate very high magnetic field bit 225 00:11:12,170 --> 00:11:09,040 not yet no please I would care so this 226 00:11:16,620 --> 00:11:12,180 accelerator it's on the border between 227 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:16,630 France and Switzerland and it this is 228 00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:22,569 the place where the entire experiment 229 00:11:38,070 --> 00:11:34,250 this accelerator at CERN produce 230 00:11:45,510 --> 00:11:38,080 particles of seven trilling electron 231 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:45,520 volt but in space high-energy particles 232 00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:49,290 has been detected he has an energy of 233 00:11:56,970 --> 00:11:53,590 100 million trillion electron volt so 234 00:12:01,440 --> 00:11:56,980 100 million truly electron volt is much 235 00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:01,450 larger than 7 training units a lot this 236 00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:05,110 means no matter how large external be to 237 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:08,670 build on earth you cannot compete with 238 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:12,490 cosmos and this madam this experiment 239 00:12:20,270 --> 00:12:17,170 was done with a detector with area the 240 00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:20,280 size of 10 times the city of Paris 241 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:25,030 measuring a primary cosmic ray n 2 into 242 00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:27,970 the atmosphere broke it apart and so you 243 00:12:32,670 --> 00:12:30,520 measure the second erase you add up the 244 00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:32,680 secondary particles you know what a 245 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:35,950 primary particle energy is so the most 246 00:12:46,020 --> 00:12:40,330 important ideas highest energy particle 247 00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:46,030 is always produced in the cosmos now 248 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:50,230 this experiment as twin deficit is a US 249 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:53,200 Department of Energy led international 250 00:13:01,680 --> 00:12:56,290 collaboration the consists of 16 251 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:01,690 countries 600 physicists it took us 252 00:13:11,450 --> 00:13:07,090 nearly 17 years Nadia decide United 253 00:13:13,650 --> 00:13:11,460 States made your country include Germany 254 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:13,660 enormous amount of work in fact the 255 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:17,890 director of the most important Institute 256 00:13:25,579 --> 00:13:21,490 in Germany purpose of shale is in here 257 00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:25,589 and the question you can also ask him 258 00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:30,390 then there's France Italy Spain Portugal 259 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:37,030 Russia far is particularly Taiwan which 260 00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:37,410 may 261 00:13:52,910 --> 00:13:46,639 the enormous amount of contribution the 262 00:13:57,230 --> 00:13:52,920 realization of AMS depends on three 263 00:14:01,249 --> 00:13:57,240 factors the most important is the strong 264 00:14:08,650 --> 00:14:01,259 important endorsement of AMS signs from 265 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:13,519 second is a unanimous support from the 266 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:17,250 United States Senate and House answer 267 00:14:27,530 --> 00:14:22,410 major word support from in Germany from 268 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:27,540 from the German space agency from the 269 00:14:35,019 --> 00:14:32,399 German equivalent of MIT our WTH from 270 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:35,029 France from french space agency from 271 00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:39,810 spanish space agency from the Swiss ETH 272 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:44,160 that the very famous school I'm from the 273 00:14:49,999 --> 00:14:46,529 switch National Foundation and from 274 00:14:54,199 --> 00:14:50,009 Italy from the Institute of Physics infn 275 00:14:58,519 --> 00:14:54,209 and from the Italian space agency an 276 00:15:03,290 --> 00:14:58,529 entire one form a military institute 277 00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:03,300 course es IST in united states we 278 00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:07,790 enjoyed very strong support from lhasa 279 00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:13,790 from the ue as we're us from MIT in 280 00:15:22,490 --> 00:15:19,649 addition we are strongly supported by 281 00:15:24,199 --> 00:15:22,500 the european space agency and by the 282 00:15:33,439 --> 00:15:24,209 european organization for nuclear 283 00:15:36,439 --> 00:15:33,449 research cern so this experiment was 284 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:36,449 reviewed many many times by the 285 00:15:44,059 --> 00:15:40,410 department of energy and then we do most 286 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:44,069 of reviewers are Nobel Prize winners a 287 00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:46,290 member of the National Academy of 288 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:47,550 Science 289 00:15:54,930 --> 00:15:50,610 when we were discussing this experiment 290 00:16:02,940 --> 00:15:54,940 with the Department of Energy in 291 00:16:09,150 --> 00:16:02,950 nineteen sixty 19-8 1995 I request to do 292 00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:09,160 e to choose the best physicist to review 293 00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:11,470 this experiment because it's a unique 294 00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:13,710 seen people have not done before and 295 00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:17,710 therefore it is very important the most 296 00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:30,390 NASA provide very strong support of AMS 297 00:16:39,780 --> 00:16:37,600 from headquarters from guardar from 298 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:39,790 Kennedy Space Center Marshall Space 299 00:16:50,930 --> 00:16:43,290 Center Johnson's Johnson Space Center 300 00:16:56,460 --> 00:16:50,940 and also aims and loss administrators 301 00:17:00,560 --> 00:16:56,470 dangling Charlie Bolden of the lori 302 00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:00,570 garver george IV anbus per customer all 303 00:17:06,630 --> 00:17:03,700 stone supported this experiment I think 304 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:06,640 if my memory is correct mr. gates to 305 00:17:15,390 --> 00:17:09,610 meijer must have visited us eight or 306 00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:15,400 nine times NASA provide to shuttle 307 00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:18,400 flight for us even though this is not a 308 00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:27,240 NASA experiment and also allow us to use 309 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:33,910 the space station most important NASA 310 00:17:43,710 --> 00:17:39,250 provide mission management group the 311 00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:43,720 NASA apo of mr. turn martin and came 312 00:17:53,789 --> 00:17:48,520 boeing we educated us how to do 313 00:18:01,840 --> 00:17:57,520 this experiment in United States also 314 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:01,850 receive very strong support from the 315 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:05,600 Department of Energy us where us from 316 00:18:16,659 --> 00:18:09,650 the school of signs of MIT this 317 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:16,669 experiment was proposed started with MIT 318 00:18:24,029 --> 00:18:19,850 and they might in lead and coordinate 319 00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:24,039 this experiment it is a Mikey group 320 00:18:34,419 --> 00:18:27,950 design and construct most of the 321 00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:34,429 electronic system and also work on the 322 00:18:51,070 --> 00:18:46,680 so when you look a particle detector it 323 00:18:54,399 --> 00:18:51,080 always looks very complicated so there 324 00:18:57,060 --> 00:18:54,409 are many layers the first layer is 325 00:19:00,130 --> 00:18:57,070 called translation radiation detector 326 00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:00,140 imagines the electrons and positrons and 327 00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:03,740 then they are followed by time of lie 328 00:19:12,970 --> 00:19:09,289 detector mallu the energy and nuclear 329 00:19:16,419 --> 00:19:12,980 charge and then you have put nine layer 330 00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:16,429 of silicon detector total area of six 331 00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:21,289 points two square meters module the 332 00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:24,140 nuclear charge and the sign of the 333 00:19:30,430 --> 00:19:27,289 charge in a magnetic field and then you 334 00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:30,440 have another detector called rich in my 335 00:19:39,340 --> 00:19:36,230 today energy and charge and then at the 336 00:19:42,669 --> 00:19:39,350 bottom you have another detector called 337 00:19:45,789 --> 00:19:42,679 electromagnetic detector images the 338 00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:45,799 energy of your lectern passacantando 339 00:19:54,450 --> 00:19:51,289 Marie's this means most of the 340 00:19:57,340 --> 00:19:54,460 properties are measured repeatedly just 341 00:20:01,500 --> 00:19:57,350 to make sure they are consistent with 342 00:20:04,410 --> 00:20:01,510 each other so 343 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:04,420 or a particle goes through these 344 00:20:12,380 --> 00:20:07,600 different detectors he leaves different 345 00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:12,390 traces and you can quickly identify them 346 00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:19,030 next one the magnet is a permanent 347 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:23,230 magnet he was provided by the united 348 00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:29,010 states department of energy and was 349 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:34,150 manufactured in china or italy in 350 00:20:39,930 --> 00:20:36,730 nineteen ninety six or so and the reason 351 00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:39,940 is the best permanent magnet material 352 00:20:48,090 --> 00:20:43,840 come from Inner Mongolia which is part 353 00:20:55,850 --> 00:20:48,100 of time I would say they really did a 354 00:21:05,790 --> 00:21:00,780 since cosmic rays going in all random 355 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:05,800 direction so you need a counter a ring 356 00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:10,210 of conquer surround your acceptance 357 00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:12,910 detector and so particle going from the 358 00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:16,270 random are rejected so you wanted to 359 00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:18,880 this very efficiently you wonder if a 360 00:21:27,540 --> 00:21:24,340 sincere pouring 99999 and that is very 361 00:21:33,450 --> 00:21:27,550 very difficult to do and this was done 362 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:33,460 in often Germany took the many years to 363 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:38,170 build this next one oh this is a picture 364 00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:41,770 or you don't see picture only see me the 365 00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:43,630 picture is more the picture there is 366 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:47,620 more exciting picture shows how this 367 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:52,530 detector is manufactured next one 368 00:21:59,910 --> 00:21:56,290 another detector is measure the flight 369 00:22:02,760 --> 00:21:59,920 time make sure the particle you only 370 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:02,770 measure that up-and-down particle next 371 00:22:11,970 --> 00:22:08,890 one a major detector that is made in 372 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:11,980 Germany which the participation United 373 00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:14,690 States and Italy is called 374 00:22:21,310 --> 00:22:17,780 in radiation detector it used the fact 375 00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:21,320 when you have an electron goes through 376 00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:26,110 layers already a radiation material and 377 00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:29,360 then go through the boundary we emit 378 00:22:38,830 --> 00:22:34,400 light rays and measurement of this gamma 379 00:22:42,270 --> 00:22:38,840 ray shows AG electron as go through no 380 00:22:46,450 --> 00:22:42,280 other particle give this phenomenal and 381 00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:46,460 so the difficulty thing is to how to 382 00:22:56,250 --> 00:22:50,150 detect this gamma rays to do that we 383 00:23:00,580 --> 00:22:56,260 developed mostly in Germany 9000 384 00:23:03,310 --> 00:23:00,590 detectors but in space you can now do 385 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:03,320 refill so you have to make sure this 386 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:06,770 detector are centered correctly and they 387 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:11,930 do not leak and so out of this 9000 we 388 00:23:22,510 --> 00:23:18,650 build we put some of them I'd not in a 389 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:22,520 hospital in your cat scan machine to 390 00:23:29,890 --> 00:23:26,330 make sure the detection center incident 391 00:23:34,750 --> 00:23:29,900 the wire is entered correctly and from 392 00:23:40,090 --> 00:23:34,760 the 9000 bill which was 5248 of them and 393 00:23:44,140 --> 00:23:40,100 they are centered 200 micro and they are 394 00:23:48,810 --> 00:23:44,150 leaked tight so when we carry five 395 00:23:52,540 --> 00:23:48,820 kilogram of co2 and 50 kilogram of xena 396 00:23:55,330 --> 00:23:52,550 we were last for 30 years so perhaps 397 00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:55,340 longer than the space station and we 398 00:24:01,090 --> 00:23:58,130 have done extensive tests to make sure 399 00:24:04,150 --> 00:24:01,100 this detector which is one that most 400 00:24:07,330 --> 00:24:04,160 important detector will last for more 401 00:24:12,850 --> 00:24:07,340 than 30 years in space we loud review 402 00:24:16,980 --> 00:24:12,860 and this picture you cannot see if you 403 00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:16,990 look back on their heels the group of a 404 00:24:23,290 --> 00:24:19,670 large group of people and a professor 405 00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:23,300 share one to ten years to build this 406 00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:25,600 detector 407 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:35,630 silicon layers total six points 2 square 408 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:39,290 meters in nine layers and they can 409 00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:42,890 measure the coordinate the position of 410 00:24:50,350 --> 00:24:46,150 the particle to one-tenth of your hair 411 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:50,360 and so these were done in special 412 00:24:58,870 --> 00:24:55,090 laboratory in Switzerland and the 413 00:25:03,730 --> 00:24:58,880 microscope as well as special 414 00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:03,740 laboratories in Italy yes taking 50 415 00:25:15,310 --> 00:25:08,000 engineers three years to build this 416 00:25:19,570 --> 00:25:15,320 detector and this is how the detector is 417 00:25:22,570 --> 00:25:19,580 installed can I see it again they're 418 00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:22,580 installed into the magnet a total nine 419 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:32,750 layers another detector is May in Spain 420 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:38,210 in France I etely in other words if you 421 00:25:44,830 --> 00:25:40,850 speak not in type of language you work 422 00:25:47,370 --> 00:25:44,840 this detective and the previous detector 423 00:25:51,870 --> 00:25:47,380 better you speak German 424 00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:51,880 and no not yet not yet nya and this 425 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:55,030 detector and used the fact on a charged 426 00:26:01,320 --> 00:25:57,610 particle goes through the top of the 427 00:26:04,820 --> 00:26:01,330 detector in amisha light and the angle 428 00:26:11,310 --> 00:26:04,830 of the light is a measurement of full 429 00:26:13,890 --> 00:26:11,320 velocity velocity means energy and the 430 00:26:16,380 --> 00:26:13,900 intensity of the light is the 431 00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:16,390 measurement of nuclear charge you know 432 00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:19,590 throughout the periodic table there's a 433 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:22,630 hydrogen has one proton helium has two 434 00:26:29,310 --> 00:26:25,440 protons so the chart is always integrals 435 00:26:34,290 --> 00:26:29,320 you will not have a fractional charge so 436 00:26:38,610 --> 00:26:34,300 you just identify the charge next one so 437 00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:38,620 this detector is very nicely made it has 438 00:26:52,410 --> 00:26:48,760 a 11,000 photosensors next one another 439 00:26:56,490 --> 00:26:52,420 detector is called the electromagnetic 440 00:27:01,020 --> 00:26:56,500 calorimeter is used the fact electrons 441 00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:01,030 and light rays because has a very small 442 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,150 mass so you when you enter into a piece 443 00:27:10,050 --> 00:27:06,640 of lead you quickly loss its energy and 444 00:27:12,930 --> 00:27:10,060 if you pick up the energy by optical 445 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:12,940 fibers then you know a lee electron as 446 00:27:19,410 --> 00:27:15,610 of you and you can measure the energy of 447 00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:19,420 the electron to do this and this was a 448 00:27:28,350 --> 00:27:22,420 technique for this special one develop 449 00:27:30,570 --> 00:27:28,360 the in pisa and they are next one so 450 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:30,580 this is how this will be our did this 451 00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:33,730 degree this is not making spaghetti but 452 00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:36,790 it's very similar and shows people 453 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:39,760 making very thin piece of let a 454 00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:43,170 millimeter and with my millimeter 455 00:27:52,830 --> 00:27:48,040 optical fibers in total in total they 456 00:27:56,130 --> 00:27:52,840 are 1200 pound of lead for yours and 457 00:27:57,550 --> 00:27:56,140 which 10,000 optical fiber by 458 00:28:02,470 --> 00:27:57,560 millimeters thick 459 00:28:06,670 --> 00:28:02,480 next one so this is the electromagnetic 460 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,680 calorimeter and these the most sensitive 461 00:28:11,950 --> 00:28:08,960 why he has something called radiation 462 00:28:17,230 --> 00:28:11,960 aims at 17 radiation is it's the most 463 00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:17,240 sensitive one every build for space next 464 00:28:25,590 --> 00:28:21,800 one so we think you are very strong 465 00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:25,600 support from the European Space Agency 466 00:28:36,430 --> 00:28:31,430 last year this time we were not here we 467 00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:36,440 were in Harlem we put the detector into 468 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:39,700 the thermal vacuum chamber and to 469 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:43,730 simulate the space condition to make 470 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:46,490 sure the detector will work in vacuum 471 00:28:59,250 --> 00:28:50,450 and work in space temperature range will 472 00:29:05,680 --> 00:28:59,260 their perform a next one and then we put 473 00:29:09,610 --> 00:29:05,690 the detector into an accelerator this is 474 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:09,620 accelerator complex observer the largest 475 00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:12,770 one has 27 kilometer the second largest 476 00:29:21,130 --> 00:29:17,600 one is a seven kilometer and we will put 477 00:29:24,610 --> 00:29:21,140 into the seven kilometer accelerator to 478 00:29:31,050 --> 00:29:24,620 sim to produce particles to sit to see 479 00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:31,060 the response of particles in space and 480 00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:35,740 so this is why this detector look like 481 00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:40,190 in space on the age to the twentieth of 482 00:29:47,890 --> 00:29:44,750 August I should mention even though 483 00:29:51,540 --> 00:29:47,900 we'll have a very large group we do have 484 00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:51,550 a very strong engineering support and so 485 00:30:00,580 --> 00:29:55,310 the time sequence is a very well kept 486 00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:00,590 and we have a very good supporting from 487 00:30:07,450 --> 00:30:03,710 Johnson Space Center who always make 488 00:30:09,050 --> 00:30:07,460 sure that every day what is done is 489 00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:09,060 carried out 490 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:16,260 next one up after the detector was 491 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:25,210 finished we could not see the detector 492 00:30:34,020 --> 00:30:29,170 into a Boeing 747 because unless we take 493 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:34,030 it apart and that is not a good idea and 494 00:30:43,470 --> 00:30:40,330 so we were able through the support of 495 00:30:50,820 --> 00:30:43,480 NASA and slew the supportive Department 496 00:30:59,460 --> 00:30:50,830 energy obtained a Air Force e5 to 497 00:31:09,730 --> 00:31:03,970 this trend has shown a mess in kennedy 498 00:31:14,790 --> 00:31:09,740 space center next one so there are many 499 00:31:18,940 --> 00:31:14,800 discussions or in the past about what 500 00:31:21,490 --> 00:31:18,950 weather is possible to build to do 501 00:31:24,460 --> 00:31:21,500 fundamental science on the space station 502 00:31:27,730 --> 00:31:24,470 you often heard people say well the 503 00:31:30,580 --> 00:31:27,740 spacing is a good adventure to learn to 504 00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:30,590 live in space and what could he do for 505 00:31:39,010 --> 00:31:35,510 science what you can contribute unsigned 506 00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:39,020 can be very simply understood in the 507 00:31:45,970 --> 00:31:42,830 following way in space there are two 508 00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:45,980 type of cosmic rays one doesn't carry 509 00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:49,700 chart like light ways like neutrinos and 510 00:31:57,220 --> 00:31:54,470 this has been studied over 50 years in 511 00:32:00,370 --> 00:31:57,230 fact all or understanding about cosmos 512 00:32:03,910 --> 00:32:00,380 come from observation of libraries in 513 00:32:07,630 --> 00:32:03,920 neutrinos but beside libraries and 514 00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:07,640 neutrinos they are particles carry 515 00:32:14,830 --> 00:32:11,390 charge once the carry chart we must have 516 00:32:17,740 --> 00:32:14,840 a mass one chef Amar's is absorbed in 517 00:32:20,530 --> 00:32:17,750 Earth's atmosphere so you never never 518 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:20,540 measure the original cosmic ray on the 519 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:23,330 ground because you live under 60 buyer 520 00:32:31,090 --> 00:32:27,290 support of artemis figure which is you 521 00:32:35,140 --> 00:32:31,100 could have 30 feet of water so you have 522 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:35,150 to go to space now because it carries a 523 00:32:41,650 --> 00:32:38,210 charge you need a magnet because 524 00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:41,660 positive Ben's one way negative Benton 525 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:45,740 also way but put a magnet in space as a 526 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:48,770 wine small difficulty and that is you 527 00:32:54,610 --> 00:32:52,130 have a magnetic compass one in the world 528 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:54,620 or ignores the other in the Wolves go 529 00:32:59,560 --> 00:32:56,930 south so if you're not careful you put a 530 00:33:04,290 --> 00:32:59,570 lot magazine space so your shelter will 531 00:33:08,410 --> 00:33:04,300 lose control and took a long time to 532 00:33:11,020 --> 00:33:08,420 figure out to design a magnet internal 533 00:33:12,850 --> 00:33:11,030 rotation space or the field are inside 534 00:33:16,350 --> 00:33:12,860 looking from outside 535 00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:16,360 like a beer okay okay so he doesn't move 536 00:33:27,730 --> 00:33:20,980 and so home I've first explained this to 537 00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:27,740 mr. Golding in 90 in let me think you 538 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:33,350 must be May night 1994 and he said well 539 00:33:41,610 --> 00:33:38,090 this is a fine but why don't we try your 540 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:41,620 little idea on a space shuttle first 541 00:33:46,510 --> 00:33:43,970 just to make sure everything will be 542 00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:46,520 okay and that's why we have our first 543 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:48,710 flight the first flight was an 544 00:33:55,690 --> 00:33:51,410 engineering flight with with the same 545 00:33:58,690 --> 00:33:55,700 magnet with about the same area of 546 00:34:01,750 --> 00:33:58,700 detectors but less detectors and we 547 00:34:05,950 --> 00:34:01,760 function perfectly and that's why give 548 00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:05,960 us confidence we can use this magnet in 549 00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:11,510 the teaching we have keep this magnet in 550 00:34:23,260 --> 00:34:17,919 the air-conditioned area and so from 551 00:34:25,419 --> 00:34:23,270 1997 to now 12 years has passed more 552 00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:25,429 than 12 years the past will measure the 553 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:28,399 magnetic field the magnetic view has not 554 00:34:35,619 --> 00:34:31,850 changed at all but this means this 555 00:34:42,430 --> 00:34:35,629 magnet can work on the space station for 556 00:34:46,899 --> 00:34:42,440 a period of 20 to 30 years so while the 557 00:34:50,470 --> 00:34:46,909 things you can measure the cows the 558 00:34:54,450 --> 00:34:50,480 array of for Complementary and precision 559 00:35:00,040 --> 00:34:54,460 detectors is all the current cosmic rays 560 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:00,050 from hydrogen to helium and all the way 561 00:35:07,450 --> 00:35:03,770 go up the periodic table you measure to 562 00:35:12,609 --> 00:35:07,460 an accuracy of one percent over the 563 00:35:16,980 --> 00:35:12,619 entire solar cycle cycle this is very 564 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:16,990 important in future if men want to leave 565 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:21,890 the planet go to Mars go to moon 566 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:25,280 there is a question radiation now the 567 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:28,850 radiation it really is not know there 568 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:31,970 has been balloon measurement satellite 569 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:34,730 measurement with a large errors thirty 570 00:35:42,070 --> 00:35:38,570 percent errors which one percent error 571 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:42,080 major all the nuclei follow the entire 572 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:44,810 solar cycle will be done for the first 573 00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:48,370 time we have calibrated detector in 574 00:35:57,700 --> 00:35:51,430 accelerated repeatedly just to make sure 575 00:36:04,360 --> 00:35:57,710 this will be done first next another 576 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:04,370 question is a dark matter we know ninety 577 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:07,450 percent of the matter in the universe 578 00:36:16,060 --> 00:36:12,370 cannot be seen because you cannot see 579 00:36:18,820 --> 00:36:16,070 that why you called augment and nobody 580 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:18,830 know what dark matter is and you cannot 581 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:22,490 because you cannot see but collision of 582 00:36:28,270 --> 00:36:24,490 dark matter will detect with each other 583 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:28,280 can produce particles like electrons or 584 00:36:34,930 --> 00:36:32,570 like positrons and so the collision of 585 00:36:37,900 --> 00:36:34,940 dark matter will produce positrons and 586 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:37,910 electrons but creating of ordinary 587 00:36:44,770 --> 00:36:41,330 cosmic ray will also produce positrons 588 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:44,780 and electrons and so if you measure the 589 00:36:53,110 --> 00:36:47,930 total pass at home or you like on there 590 00:36:55,450 --> 00:36:53,120 will be the sum of this to the fact it's 591 00:36:57,460 --> 00:36:55,460 the sum of these two means it's more 592 00:37:01,840 --> 00:36:57,470 than the ordinary course a great 593 00:37:05,860 --> 00:37:01,850 condition and this give you he give your 594 00:37:09,390 --> 00:37:05,870 idea that you finally understood who are 595 00:37:14,350 --> 00:37:09,400 the ninety percent of the universe come 596 00:37:17,650 --> 00:37:14,360 mattering the universe come from now 597 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:17,660 that all the show okay 598 00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:23,810 another the important fitted question is 599 00:37:31,610 --> 00:37:28,200 antimatter if the universe come from a 600 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:31,620 big band before the Big Bang it is 601 00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:37,050 vacuum nothing exists invention so at 602 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:40,110 the beginning you have an electron you 603 00:37:44,780 --> 00:37:41,730 must have a possible so the charges 604 00:37:47,420 --> 00:37:44,790 balance so you have matter you must have 605 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:47,430 antimatter otherwise you will not have 606 00:37:55,910 --> 00:37:49,890 come from a vacuum so now the universe 607 00:38:01,130 --> 00:37:55,920 is 14 billion years old who have all of 608 00:38:04,570 --> 00:38:01,140 us and made out of matter the questions 609 00:38:07,550 --> 00:38:04,580 were the universe made out of antimatter 610 00:38:11,060 --> 00:38:07,560 Wednesday's experiment the reason we 611 00:38:14,290 --> 00:38:11,070 designed with such such a large site 612 00:38:17,930 --> 00:38:14,300 with so many layers of repetitive 613 00:38:21,850 --> 00:38:17,940 precision detector is to search for the 614 00:38:25,330 --> 00:38:21,860 existence of antimatter to the aid of 615 00:38:29,300 --> 00:38:25,340 observable universe for anti healing 616 00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:29,310 anti carbon and we can read distinguish 617 00:38:39,370 --> 00:38:35,190 this particle from billings of ordinary 618 00:38:42,590 --> 00:38:39,380 particles like carbon or helium in space 619 00:38:47,660 --> 00:38:42,600 if you think about it this is not a 620 00:38:50,990 --> 00:38:47,670 trivial gal in a city of houston do 621 00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:51,000 during the rainy season you have about 622 00:38:58,730 --> 00:38:55,560 10 billion green blobs per second if you 623 00:39:04,580 --> 00:38:58,740 want to find one that's of different 624 00:39:07,010 --> 00:39:04,590 color somewhat difficult that's why the 625 00:39:12,330 --> 00:39:07,020 disk illustrates the preceding this 626 00:39:17,530 --> 00:39:12,340 detector is going to achieve next one 627 00:39:21,820 --> 00:39:17,540 another interesting new idea this was a 628 00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:21,830 first proposed by edge Wheaton and gags 629 00:39:35,050 --> 00:39:28,730 and lives of jail is pursuing this new 630 00:39:44,530 --> 00:39:35,060 material up in space now you must have 631 00:39:47,740 --> 00:39:44,540 heard all day metal in accelerator if 632 00:39:50,340 --> 00:39:47,750 you look to the accelerator you will see 633 00:39:53,050 --> 00:39:50,350 the smallest particles called quarks 634 00:39:56,890 --> 00:39:53,060 there are six different kind of quarks 635 00:40:02,410 --> 00:39:56,900 one call you on Cordy another call s 636 00:40:06,910 --> 00:40:02,420 another call be another korte so we know 637 00:40:12,550 --> 00:40:06,920 such quarks exists but it is very very 638 00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:12,560 strange all the material on earth I made 639 00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:16,160 out of first to you and deep so we know 640 00:40:21,220 --> 00:40:18,260 in the accelerator or six type exists 641 00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:21,230 but on earth you only see the first tool 642 00:40:27,310 --> 00:40:24,910 so that simple question you wanna ask is 643 00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:27,320 horoscope material made out of three 644 00:40:34,690 --> 00:40:32,510 type of quarks you D&S may be a simple 645 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:34,700 question but a very very important 646 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:39,770 question see knew where is a new 647 00:40:52,090 --> 00:40:47,570 material next so the issue are just a 648 00:40:54,610 --> 00:40:52,100 share with you of antimatter in the 649 00:40:58,060 --> 00:40:54,620 universe and already of dark matter 650 00:41:02,920 --> 00:40:58,070 really fun probes the foundations of 651 00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:02,930 modern physics but to my collaborators 652 00:41:11,950 --> 00:41:08,110 my collaborators and I the most exciting 653 00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:11,960 objective of a mess is to probe the 654 00:41:20,260 --> 00:41:16,070 unknown to search for phenomena we kept 655 00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:20,270 this in nature but yet we have not the 656 00:41:27,190 --> 00:41:35,550 so let me explain to you what I'm saying 657 00:41:47,710 --> 00:41:45,130 while received my PhD degree in 1962 the 658 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:47,720 highest energy accelerator in the world 659 00:41:57,220 --> 00:41:51,410 the people decided sense to do frontier 660 00:42:01,380 --> 00:41:57,230 science wise I in geneva at cern another 661 00:42:05,740 --> 00:42:01,390 is a Brookhaven in Long Island there 662 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:05,750 already no purpose of this detectors of 663 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:08,450 this accelerator was to study nuclear 664 00:42:16,090 --> 00:42:13,210 force the mini theory how to how to 665 00:42:20,260 --> 00:42:16,100 understand nuclear force by the 666 00:42:22,870 --> 00:42:20,270 discovery i discern assumption kanuto 667 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:22,880 current which he winkle leads to the 668 00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:26,770 unification of weak forces and 669 00:42:36,340 --> 00:42:32,710 electromagnetic forces I broke heaven 670 00:42:39,550 --> 00:42:36,350 there were three major discoveries why 671 00:42:42,310 --> 00:42:39,560 is new form of matter the existence of 672 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:42,320 new form of matter which is the one I 673 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:45,890 received a Nobel Prize another is the 674 00:42:51,780 --> 00:42:48,880 breakdown of basic symmetry principle 675 00:43:00,880 --> 00:42:51,790 just work done by Professor crony 676 00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:00,890 another why is this if I couldn't see 677 00:43:17,260 --> 00:43:12,710 this one yes hold it is yes how could I 678 00:43:21,460 --> 00:43:17,270 forgot that is a neutrinos actually have 679 00:43:26,250 --> 00:43:21,470 to kind neutrinos chargeless particle 680 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:26,260 first proposed in the 1930s as massless 681 00:43:33,190 --> 00:43:31,490 only one kind but it is the experiments 682 00:43:34,530 --> 00:43:33,200 is no there's not only one can dare to 683 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:34,540 cut 684 00:43:42,580 --> 00:43:39,650 in 1970s the United States build a very 685 00:43:45,550 --> 00:43:42,590 large elaborate laboratory in for a new 686 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:45,560 Chicago confirming laboratory and the 687 00:43:49,870 --> 00:43:47,570 purpose was to study neutrino physics 688 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:49,880 because brooke haven't found their too 689 00:44:00,520 --> 00:43:53,690 high but what was discovered was the 690 00:44:06,060 --> 00:44:00,530 fifth chord and the 64 esta at same time 691 00:44:09,610 --> 00:44:06,070 a slag Stanford Linear Accelerator debut 692 00:44:12,910 --> 00:44:09,620 electron-positron Collider the original 693 00:44:16,150 --> 00:44:12,920 purpose were to study property of 694 00:44:20,110 --> 00:44:16,160 electricity and he really made mainly 695 00:44:23,650 --> 00:44:20,120 important discoveries and including the 696 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:23,660 fourth family of corn the third type of 697 00:44:35,010 --> 00:44:29,330 electrons and also find inside the 698 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:35,020 proton they are pop there are many cores 699 00:44:45,790 --> 00:44:41,680 then in 1980s the largest accelerator 700 00:44:49,390 --> 00:44:45,800 for electron pulses on collision was in 701 00:44:52,060 --> 00:44:49,400 Hamburg Corp at law the original purpose 702 00:44:55,570 --> 00:44:52,070 was to look for the sixth type of pork 703 00:44:58,450 --> 00:44:55,580 what was discovered was not a sixth type 704 00:45:04,030 --> 00:44:58,460 of work was something called glue which 705 00:45:07,150 --> 00:45:04,040 bound the quarks together so when you 706 00:45:11,730 --> 00:45:07,160 look all these accelerators your build 707 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:11,740 accelerator you ask the best businesses 708 00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:15,650 to tear the government while you're 709 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:18,070 going to study but when you make a 710 00:45:24,490 --> 00:45:21,290 proceeding instrumentation you do the 711 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:24,500 experiment you're discovering you will 712 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:27,890 fundamental breakthrough always had 713 00:45:32,170 --> 00:45:29,810 nothing to do with their original 714 00:45:35,350 --> 00:45:32,180 purpose they argue is very simple 715 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:35,360 because they already know purpose is 716 00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:38,810 based on existing knowledge discovery is 717 00:45:43,780 --> 00:45:40,910 to advance the existing on its own it's 718 00:45:47,620 --> 00:45:43,790 difficult to predict 719 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:47,630 and so I think the real purpose of AMS 720 00:45:56,140 --> 00:45:50,690 is utilized the tremendous scientific 721 00:46:00,190 --> 00:45:56,150 potential of space station and to probe 722 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:00,200 the unknown so I finished my little 723 00:46:07,330 --> 00:46:05,330 explanation okay next we're going to 724 00:46:08,620 --> 00:46:07,340 open up the floor for questions we'll 725 00:46:10,570 --> 00:46:08,630 start here in the room and if you can 726 00:46:11,950 --> 00:46:10,580 please be sure and state your name and 727 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:11,960 organization before you say your 728 00:46:17,070 --> 00:46:14,690 question oh thank you Mark kuro for 729 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:17,080 aviation week can you sort of explain 730 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:22,970 the the process of activating and how 731 00:46:29,950 --> 00:46:24,890 long it takes to calibrate or whatever 732 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:29,960 you have to do to start studies and how 733 00:46:35,950 --> 00:46:33,410 is the AMS controlled from the ground 734 00:46:40,710 --> 00:46:35,960 where does a science data go and who 735 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:40,720 manages that for distribution Thanks so 736 00:46:47,710 --> 00:46:42,530 I'll cover some of the operations 737 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:47,720 portions once-once whats AMS is put onto 738 00:46:52,450 --> 00:46:49,520 the space station the data comes down 739 00:46:54,820 --> 00:46:52,460 through the space station standard data 740 00:46:58,270 --> 00:46:54,830 paths eventually makes its way back to 741 00:47:00,010 --> 00:46:58,280 Mission Control here in houston we have 742 00:47:02,140 --> 00:47:00,020 a payload operation control center 743 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:02,150 already set up at the pay at Mission 744 00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:04,130 Control here in Houston we will operate 745 00:47:09,460 --> 00:47:07,430 the payload from that POC for the 746 00:47:11,290 --> 00:47:09,470 initial phases of AMS during the shuttle 747 00:47:15,580 --> 00:47:11,300 mission and for the initial operations 748 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:15,590 on the International Space Station we we 749 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:17,690 operate the payload from there we turn 750 00:47:23,020 --> 00:47:19,490 on different detectors change power 751 00:47:24,670 --> 00:47:23,030 levels to different instruments etc make 752 00:47:26,980 --> 00:47:24,680 sure that the thermal balance is in is 753 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:26,990 in check once the science data comes 754 00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:29,090 down it's checked to make sure that it 755 00:47:33,310 --> 00:47:31,910 matches with what we saw on orbit we 756 00:47:35,890 --> 00:47:33,320 then send that data out to various 757 00:47:38,590 --> 00:47:35,900 science centers around the world once 758 00:47:39,850 --> 00:47:38,600 completely operational that up that 759 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:39,860 payload operation control center will 760 00:47:45,820 --> 00:47:43,610 move to CERN in Geneva and for the long 761 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:45,830 duration operations of AMS it will be 762 00:47:53,140 --> 00:47:48,050 done out of Geneva mainly by the MS 763 00:47:58,460 --> 00:47:56,480 yes I wondered I guess there's a is 764 00:48:02,420 --> 00:47:58,470 there a commissioning period when you're 765 00:48:05,930 --> 00:48:02,430 sort of tuning is it worth or does it 766 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:05,940 does it line up and and and work right 767 00:48:11,450 --> 00:48:09,330 away with good data so it's we have a 768 00:48:14,510 --> 00:48:11,460 several hour period where we're turning 769 00:48:16,220 --> 00:48:14,520 on the power systems but once that once 770 00:48:18,770 --> 00:48:16,230 it's turned on the instruments are 771 00:48:21,230 --> 00:48:18,780 operational we're immediately gathering 772 00:48:22,670 --> 00:48:21,240 data now I'll leave it up to Professor 773 00:48:24,500 --> 00:48:22,680 King to decide how long it takes before 774 00:48:30,590 --> 00:48:24,510 it comes back to you with scientific 775 00:48:34,190 --> 00:48:30,600 discoveries from that data but I would 776 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:34,200 imagine working one or two hours we 777 00:48:40,849 --> 00:48:36,810 should begin to receive data by the way 778 00:48:52,460 --> 00:48:40,859 we have checked the detector over over 779 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:52,470 over again in fact the we put the 780 00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:55,650 detector versus somebody detector 781 00:49:01,340 --> 00:48:58,650 detector has a three hundred thousand 782 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:01,350 channels so they love enormous amount of 783 00:49:06,620 --> 00:49:04,410 cables hundreds of thousands of cable so 784 00:49:09,859 --> 00:49:06,630 the first time we had somebody detector 785 00:49:12,020 --> 00:49:09,869 was end of 2007 and we cut the cable to 786 00:49:15,740 --> 00:49:12,030 the lens took six months to put the 787 00:49:20,330 --> 00:49:15,750 detectors together and then we take it 788 00:49:24,050 --> 00:49:20,340 apart took one month's second time we 789 00:49:26,540 --> 00:49:24,060 installed it take one months and then we 790 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:26,550 took it apart I installed again we took 791 00:49:32,900 --> 00:49:29,490 it apart installed total two or three 792 00:49:36,940 --> 00:49:32,910 times mainly just to make sure we are 793 00:49:42,770 --> 00:49:36,950 solely familiar with audit components 794 00:49:45,170 --> 00:49:42,780 and we also ported it Hector each each 795 00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:45,180 of the detector has gone to accelerate a 796 00:49:50,810 --> 00:49:48,510 test and then together we went to the 797 00:49:52,940 --> 00:49:50,820 accelerated heads again to make sure 798 00:49:57,590 --> 00:49:52,950 this detector doesn't affect the next 799 00:50:00,800 --> 00:49:57,600 one and this was in was in Geneva twice 800 00:50:04,490 --> 00:50:00,810 once in February last year and second 801 00:50:05,450 --> 00:50:04,500 time in august and in kennedy space 802 00:50:10,970 --> 00:50:05,460 center 803 00:50:15,109 --> 00:50:10,980 we did also test and then final last 804 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:15,119 test will be a few days before before 805 00:50:24,380 --> 00:50:19,890 liftoff with the dome will do one more 806 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:24,390 test so on the space station it should 807 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:26,970 come back the data shall come back very 808 00:50:33,710 --> 00:50:30,530 quickly within hours less than an hour 809 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:33,720 this has happened exactly the same thing 810 00:50:40,730 --> 00:50:38,400 what do we did in the first line in 811 00:50:42,079 --> 00:50:40,740 addition to the operations that we do on 812 00:50:44,510 --> 00:50:42,089 the International Space Station when we 813 00:50:46,339 --> 00:50:44,520 launched within about two hours after 814 00:50:49,010 --> 00:50:46,349 launch we will turn on AMS in the 815 00:50:53,540 --> 00:50:49,020 payload Bay the orbiter will ensure that 816 00:50:55,790 --> 00:50:53,550 it survived the ride and and check out 817 00:50:57,170 --> 00:50:55,800 the basically thermally conditioned the 818 00:50:58,880 --> 00:50:57,180 payload to ensure that when we're ready 819 00:51:01,430 --> 00:50:58,890 to do that arm to arm transfer that 820 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:01,440 we're warm enough that we can do that 821 00:51:09,589 --> 00:51:03,450 for there's a stage where we would have 822 00:51:11,540 --> 00:51:09,599 zero power on to the payload bill are 823 00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:11,550 with CBS with a couple of questions the 824 00:51:14,890 --> 00:51:13,080 data that comes down you don't store it 825 00:51:18,859 --> 00:51:14,900 on board right it's a continuous 826 00:51:20,900 --> 00:51:18,869 downlink is there a measure of how much 827 00:51:29,109 --> 00:51:20,910 data comes down in a given 24 hour 828 00:51:32,839 --> 00:51:29,119 period the day ha come down continuously 829 00:51:37,609 --> 00:51:32,849 occasionally cursor interruption of the 830 00:51:41,540 --> 00:51:37,619 downlink so we have a computer on board 831 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:41,550 and the old also a computer in the 832 00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:44,130 detector itself which has a massive 833 00:51:51,230 --> 00:51:47,520 storage and so in principle can store 834 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:51,240 for quite a few months before we can 835 00:51:56,900 --> 00:51:54,930 send them down for you you you never 836 00:51:59,630 --> 00:51:56,910 know if the space stations there for 20 837 00:52:00,920 --> 00:51:59,640 years and you don't know for the next is 838 00:52:03,710 --> 00:52:00,930 there will be a few months time 839 00:52:05,390 --> 00:52:03,720 something may happen so we dis have been 840 00:52:10,579 --> 00:52:05,400 taken care of in fact the computer 841 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:10,589 stories was delivered by 133 and when 842 00:52:22,050 --> 00:52:15,610 the data comes down goes to Geneva 843 00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:22,060 and we have a rather good park and a 844 00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:26,290 sock and with the data will be analyzed 845 00:52:32,390 --> 00:52:29,470 the center it was into our in Germany to 846 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:32,400 Italy to Switzerland to all the places 847 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:37,330 to analyze the data to get to give you 848 00:52:43,740 --> 00:52:41,530 an idea of the amount of data currently 849 00:52:46,770 --> 00:52:43,750 with AMS run it well last week when AMS 850 00:52:51,720 --> 00:52:46,780 was running in the SS PF at KSC we were 851 00:52:53,370 --> 00:52:51,730 seeing 400 hits per second of particles 852 00:52:56,100 --> 00:52:53,380 when we get to the International Space 853 00:52:59,430 --> 00:52:56,110 Station we expect to see 25,000 hits per 854 00:53:02,430 --> 00:52:59,440 second we're gathering data at seven 855 00:53:04,650 --> 00:53:02,440 gigabits per second we can't send that 856 00:53:07,410 --> 00:53:04,660 huge amount of data down through the 857 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:07,420 space station data systems is just too 858 00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:09,730 much so the onboard computers actually 859 00:53:14,460 --> 00:53:12,760 go through a process of condensing that 860 00:53:16,620 --> 00:53:14,470 data down to just the data that we're 861 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:16,630 truly interested in compressing it as 862 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:19,570 much as possible we send down data on 863 00:53:24,390 --> 00:53:22,330 average at about six megabits per second 864 00:53:26,730 --> 00:53:24,400 constantly for the entire time that AMS 865 00:53:28,740 --> 00:53:26,740 is on the computers that Professor tank 866 00:53:31,350 --> 00:53:28,750 spoke of can store up data and we can 867 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:31,360 burst it down at much higher rate that 868 00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:34,690 allows us to do it at less peak times of 869 00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:36,640 data traffic coming back and forth from 870 00:53:44,010 --> 00:53:41,110 station an enormous amount of time on 871 00:53:45,210 --> 00:53:44,020 this project from birth to getting to 872 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:45,220 this point where you're ready to launch 873 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:49,090 I know scientists don't get terribly 874 00:53:51,660 --> 00:53:50,650 emotional about the hardware i guess but 875 00:53:53,730 --> 00:53:51,670 this is quite a moment for you 876 00:53:55,380 --> 00:53:53,740 personally as well as the team but what 877 00:53:57,150 --> 00:53:55,390 are your thoughts on a personal level 878 00:53:59,550 --> 00:53:57,160 that you finally gotten to this point 879 00:54:10,290 --> 00:53:59,560 where this payload is finally going to 880 00:54:16,410 --> 00:54:10,300 fly if you ask me what i do every day my 881 00:54:20,340 --> 00:54:16,420 biggest worry my biggest concern is to 882 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:20,350 make sure the instrument is correct but 883 00:54:24,630 --> 00:54:22,450 this is different from you to experiment 884 00:54:27,790 --> 00:54:24,640 on the ground if something's wrong you 885 00:54:35,210 --> 00:54:27,800 can send a graduate student to 886 00:54:39,079 --> 00:54:35,220 and so high indeed spend enormous amount 887 00:54:40,940 --> 00:54:39,089 of time thinking what could go wrong the 888 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:40,950 fact well I just mentioned we took it 889 00:54:47,380 --> 00:54:43,650 apart and reassemble bong the purpose of 890 00:54:51,859 --> 00:54:47,390 his days for the electronics will have a 891 00:54:54,710 --> 00:54:51,869 4-port redundancy and just make sure 892 00:54:59,270 --> 00:54:54,720 once bad you will switch automatically 893 00:55:02,210 --> 00:54:59,280 tan X 1 2 next one to the next one which 894 00:55:06,859 --> 00:55:02,220 the implication of this experiment is 895 00:55:10,820 --> 00:55:06,869 the following given the difficulty we 896 00:55:12,890 --> 00:55:10,830 have to build this experiment given the 897 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:12,900 enormous amount of difficulty have an 898 00:55:22,190 --> 00:55:17,810 international collaboration and I think 899 00:55:25,329 --> 00:55:22,200 in the next 10 to 20 years nobody will 900 00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:25,339 be foolish enough to repeat this again 901 00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:29,730 and therefore it is very very important 902 00:55:34,910 --> 00:55:32,910 we do it correctly a lot of wise you 903 00:55:38,329 --> 00:55:34,920 certainly is going to miss Lee the 904 00:55:41,060 --> 00:55:38,339 direction of science I think all first 905 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:41,070 obligation but only obligation is to 906 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:43,650 make sure the instrument is correct what 907 00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:52,480 hi Robert Pearlman with collectspace.com 908 00:55:57,290 --> 00:55:55,920 you mentioned that it keeps that you are 909 00:55:59,870 --> 00:55:57,300 concerned that the instrument is correct 910 00:56:01,580 --> 00:55:59,880 and that it works in the unthinkable 911 00:56:04,550 --> 00:56:01,590 situation that it gets attached to the 912 00:56:08,330 --> 00:56:04,560 ISS and something doesn't work what's 913 00:56:10,850 --> 00:56:08,340 the recourse is there can do you barring 914 00:56:13,970 --> 00:56:10,860 graduate students do you send these hen 915 00:56:18,380 --> 00:56:13,980 spacewalkers out to to work on is it 916 00:56:21,050 --> 00:56:18,390 serves the melon space no you only have 917 00:56:27,380 --> 00:56:21,060 one person to blame who is sitting in 918 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:27,390 front of you there's no recourse who 919 00:56:33,710 --> 00:56:29,010 have this is why we have motive 920 00:56:39,100 --> 00:56:33,720 redundancy motivate and Motor City 921 00:56:45,110 --> 00:56:42,490 that is the only thing we can do a 922 00:56:48,710 --> 00:56:45,120 permanent magnet has the good fortune 923 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:48,720 you can ask switched off so the Magnum 924 00:56:54,380 --> 00:56:51,210 will work and translation radiation 925 00:56:57,920 --> 00:56:54,390 detector was tested repeatedly every 926 00:57:00,440 --> 00:56:57,930 detector were two down individual space 927 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:00,450 qualification test and the whole 928 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:02,490 detector together the space 929 00:57:12,890 --> 00:57:08,210 qualification tests so I suspect unless 930 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:12,900 somebody drop it then there's a nothing 931 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:16,650 we can do probably the chance of not 932 00:57:24,110 --> 00:57:21,090 working politics quite small they follow 933 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:24,120 up with that when you have a detector 934 00:57:28,330 --> 00:57:26,010 that has 300,000 data channels that 935 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:28,340 means you have 300,000 wires somewhere 936 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:32,610 right we looked early on it should we do 937 00:57:36,740 --> 00:57:34,170 something modular like we did with 938 00:57:38,090 --> 00:57:36,750 Hubble or with other missions and the 939 00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:38,100 complexity within the science 940 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:39,630 experiments was just too difficult for 941 00:57:43,790 --> 00:57:41,610 us to do that however what we have done 942 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:43,800 is we do have the capability for the 943 00:57:47,810 --> 00:57:45,810 non-scientific portions essentially a 944 00:57:49,010 --> 00:57:47,820 data or power systems coming from the 945 00:57:51,410 --> 00:57:49,020 space station we actually have the 946 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:51,420 capability to go out EBA and change some 947 00:57:54,500 --> 00:57:53,130 of those things out if we're if you lose 948 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:54,510 power out of one line we can go out and 949 00:57:58,520 --> 00:57:56,370 switch that around if we lose data from 950 00:58:00,800 --> 00:57:58,530 one line we can go switch that but 951 00:58:01,799 --> 00:58:00,810 barring those minor adjustments that we 952 00:58:03,870 --> 00:58:01,809 can make 953 00:58:08,579 --> 00:58:03,880 the experiment detector is just too 954 00:58:11,819 --> 00:58:08,589 complex to make it modular and just as a 955 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:11,829 quick follow-up is there an advantage to 956 00:58:16,019 --> 00:58:13,930 where it's being placed on the station 957 00:58:18,719 --> 00:58:16,029 was there was there a more advantageous 958 00:58:20,699 --> 00:58:18,729 place to to attach it to station or was 959 00:58:23,759 --> 00:58:20,709 it just an open spot where it could go 960 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:23,769 we went through extensive Studies on 961 00:58:30,420 --> 00:58:25,839 exactly where we should put AMS AMS is 962 00:58:32,279 --> 00:58:30,430 sitting at a site at one of the of the 963 00:58:33,630 --> 00:58:32,289 six or seven attached sites there's one 964 00:58:36,329 --> 00:58:33,640 on the mobile transporter as well but 965 00:58:39,179 --> 00:58:36,339 one of the six fixed payload attached 966 00:58:41,069 --> 00:58:39,189 sites the furthest away from the solar 967 00:58:45,239 --> 00:58:41,079 arrays and we actually tilted it 12 968 00:58:47,189 --> 00:58:45,249 degrees what 12 was at a magic number 969 00:58:48,630 --> 00:58:47,199 but we tilted it a certain amount of 970 00:58:50,279 --> 00:58:48,640 degrees away so that we could actually 971 00:58:51,749 --> 00:58:50,289 get the field of view away from the 972 00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:51,759 solar array so that we would see those 973 00:58:58,109 --> 00:58:54,160 in our field of view as few times as 974 00:59:00,959 --> 00:58:58,119 possible so we are now sitting in a spot 975 00:59:02,579 --> 00:59:00,969 where we cannot move it easily without 976 00:59:04,650 --> 00:59:02,589 without adjusting the rest of the the 977 00:59:05,999 --> 00:59:04,660 hardware that's own space station we 978 00:59:08,370 --> 00:59:06,009 obviously have to be pointed away from 979 00:59:11,729 --> 00:59:08,380 the earth so we can only take one of the 980 00:59:13,499 --> 00:59:11,739 three spots on top and this this was by 981 00:59:19,259 --> 00:59:13,509 far the best site for AMS on Space 982 00:59:20,999 --> 00:59:19,269 Station genius and Sarah ABC News is it 983 00:59:23,429 --> 00:59:21,009 possible to have a significant 984 00:59:25,289 --> 00:59:23,439 scientific discovery before endeavour 985 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:25,299 lands I mean how long would it take to 986 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:28,890 process this and figure out what's what 987 00:59:40,380 --> 00:59:36,130 it is even if you have something new you 988 00:59:46,109 --> 00:59:40,390 can never predict the future I think we 989 00:59:50,599 --> 00:59:46,119 want to check it a better care for it we 990 00:59:53,489 --> 00:59:50,609 want to make sure everything's correct I 991 00:59:55,410 --> 00:59:53,499 think the chance for make an 992 00:59:59,189 --> 00:59:55,420 announcement just for the announcement 993 01:00:01,620 --> 00:59:59,199 sake problem is not what we should do we 994 01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:01,630 want to do it very systematically very 995 01:00:09,269 --> 01:00:04,630 carefully to do we are going to have to 996 01:00:11,740 --> 01:00:09,279 analysis teams to independent analysis 997 01:00:22,470 --> 01:00:11,750 teams analyze the same thing 998 01:00:29,170 --> 01:00:25,930 and its key with Harvard journalism as a 999 01:00:32,140 --> 01:00:29,180 Nobel laureate can you speak again about 1000 01:00:34,330 --> 01:00:32,150 your experience with dances support wise 1001 01:00:36,580 --> 01:00:34,340 and what do you more importantly say to 1002 01:00:39,130 --> 01:00:36,590 other scientists in the States and 1003 01:00:41,410 --> 01:00:39,140 around the world about accessing the 1004 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:41,420 International Space Station as a science 1005 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:45,170 research laboratory please repeat your 1006 01:00:50,650 --> 01:00:48,050 question because your second part of the 1007 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:50,660 first part of this slightly disconnected 1008 01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:53,210 right but your experience with NASA you 1009 01:00:57,490 --> 01:00:55,610 describe is very good in strong support 1010 01:00:59,620 --> 01:00:57,500 so what do you say to other scientists 1011 01:01:02,170 --> 01:00:59,630 about accessing the International Space 1012 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:02,180 Station as a science research laboratory 1013 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:07,010 through 2020 I would imagine if a good 1014 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:19,010 idea and you will find a way a good idea 1015 01:01:26,260 --> 01:01:21,890 means the following okay you hope you 1016 01:01:31,390 --> 01:01:26,270 have an idea you write a proposal to the 1017 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:31,400 agency and you ask for review and the 1018 01:01:41,110 --> 01:01:36,050 reviewer or examine your physics or 1019 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:41,120 science ideas also a very important 1020 01:01:49,690 --> 01:01:46,250 thing is what have you done before have 1021 01:01:52,350 --> 01:01:49,700 you ever made a mistake as every one of 1022 01:01:55,630 --> 01:01:52,360 your experiment has contribute something 1023 01:02:00,700 --> 01:01:55,640 so called track record and these are 1024 01:02:04,450 --> 01:02:00,710 also a good kamiki a good peer review 1025 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:04,460 should cover that because just to to see 1026 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:08,090 a proposal you can write whatever you 1027 01:02:14,290 --> 01:02:10,370 want and then is difficult to judge 1028 01:02:16,990 --> 01:02:14,300 since I would imagine if there are good 1029 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:17,000 ideas the space station is really it 1030 01:02:24,180 --> 01:02:20,450 really useful thing because of size you 1031 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:24,190 can support heavy way and provide power 1032 01:02:37,030 --> 01:02:27,890 really it's a very useful him for 1033 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:39,310 Eric burger with the Houston Chronicle 1034 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:41,370 following that up and then I'll have an 1035 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:43,410 additional question is that the primary 1036 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:45,810 reason why the AMS had to be on the 1037 01:02:54,290 --> 01:02:49,410 station was its power needs power on the 1038 01:02:57,500 --> 01:02:54,300 wait if you go on satellite right you're 1039 01:03:00,220 --> 01:02:57,510 going to have to build you're going to 1040 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:00,230 have to be r you have to find a rocket 1041 01:03:08,510 --> 01:03:03,330 carries seven and half tons of low and 1042 01:03:11,990 --> 01:03:08,520 you have to build a solar power to 1043 01:03:14,900 --> 01:03:12,000 provide 2500 watt you have to provide 1044 01:03:19,340 --> 01:03:14,910 data transmission and this week in no 1045 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:19,350 muscling costly in fact this question 1046 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:24,210 was asked of me a year ago when fittest 1047 01:03:33,170 --> 01:03:27,930 is called steep Hawking shut up Richard 1048 01:03:35,900 --> 01:03:33,180 me spend a hot afternoon with me after 1049 01:03:41,630 --> 01:03:35,910 my little explanation he only had one 1050 01:03:49,030 --> 01:03:41,640 question I was the same question well 1051 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:51,770 the second question I would ask is is 1052 01:03:56,540 --> 01:03:53,370 this has been a long and winding road 1053 01:04:00,050 --> 01:03:56,550 for you 17 years and you're essentially 1054 01:04:03,740 --> 01:04:00,060 trying to sell bean counters not at NASA 1055 01:04:04,700 --> 01:04:03,750 and Congress on something that we think 1056 01:04:07,580 --> 01:04:04,710 we're going to find something really 1057 01:04:09,260 --> 01:04:07,590 exciting but we don't know what it is so 1058 01:04:13,090 --> 01:04:09,270 maybe talk about sort of the challenge 1059 01:04:15,890 --> 01:04:13,100 of selling basic science in a 1060 01:04:21,770 --> 01:04:15,900 results-driven what can you do for me 1061 01:04:24,290 --> 01:04:21,780 now world of politics and funding I this 1062 01:04:28,070 --> 01:04:24,300 symbol of question is slightly different 1063 01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:28,080 former a different form it's asked of me 1064 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:36,740 what it what wife the physicist it's a 1065 01:04:50,930 --> 01:04:44,000 to try to find something you and I 1066 01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:50,940 personally for me I never had any 1067 01:04:58,160 --> 01:04:55,770 financial problems people look at what 1068 01:05:00,320 --> 01:04:58,170 I've done before what my collaborators 1069 01:05:03,470 --> 01:05:00,330 has done before and people were 1070 01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:03,480 supporters you ask a very important 1071 01:05:12,370 --> 01:05:06,330 question why there's such thing 1072 01:05:18,950 --> 01:05:12,380 countries go through such a torturous 1073 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:18,960 road to reach today by or in this 13 1074 01:05:25,940 --> 01:05:22,050 years there's a a period of time we were 1075 01:05:28,850 --> 01:05:25,950 not even on the manifest invited you 1076 01:05:31,970 --> 01:05:28,860 german physicist the italian physicist 1077 01:05:35,260 --> 01:05:31,980 and why the united states department of 1078 01:05:38,630 --> 01:05:35,270 energy why am I que continĂșa supporters 1079 01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:38,640 it's because they believe such a 1080 01:05:49,670 --> 01:05:43,680 important science must be done so I 1081 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:49,680 don't have any legal authority over any 1082 01:05:56,150 --> 01:05:53,730 funding agencies people work with work 1083 01:06:01,060 --> 01:05:56,160 together because they are curious they 1084 01:06:05,150 --> 01:06:01,070 want to find what the dark matter is 1085 01:06:12,890 --> 01:06:05,160 whether there's antimatter long and the 1086 01:06:14,900 --> 01:06:12,900 question you asked what is good for what 1087 01:06:21,980 --> 01:06:14,910 you can use it for you spend so much 1088 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:21,990 ever a hundred years ago on x-ray orange 1089 01:06:28,540 --> 01:06:26,010 electron or first discover and then what 1090 01:06:34,630 --> 01:06:28,550 time are just pure scientific research 1091 01:06:43,730 --> 01:06:39,050 1930s the so-called useless science is 1092 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:43,740 quantum mechanics and atomic physics now 1093 01:06:50,330 --> 01:06:48,450 is useful for your cell phone for your 1094 01:06:57,650 --> 01:06:50,340 laser for all the transmission 1095 01:07:02,780 --> 01:06:57,660 for for your for the 1800 30s and 40s we 1096 01:07:07,670 --> 01:07:02,790 study the Sun and then now now is used 1097 01:07:14,570 --> 01:07:07,680 for many things study also planet now 1098 01:07:18,130 --> 01:07:14,580 used for GPS so from the observation of 1099 01:07:21,500 --> 01:07:18,140 a new phenomena to the discovery 1100 01:07:25,190 --> 01:07:21,510 normally as a period maybe 10 years 1101 01:07:30,350 --> 01:07:25,200 maybe 20 years maybe 30 years whines it 1102 01:07:33,770 --> 01:07:30,360 is used it changes everybody's life but 1103 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:33,780 during this road of developing new 1104 01:07:40,550 --> 01:07:37,650 technology the developing new signs you 1105 01:07:44,330 --> 01:07:40,560 develop many new technology a very good 1106 01:07:46,670 --> 01:07:44,340 example is world wide web what's 1107 01:07:52,370 --> 01:07:46,680 discovery sir would really affect 1108 01:07:56,420 --> 01:07:52,380 everyone's life I think so that really 1109 01:07:59,630 --> 01:07:56,430 the direct benefit to society but for 1110 01:08:03,410 --> 01:07:59,640 scientists at least for me the main 1111 01:08:06,020 --> 01:08:03,420 reason is curiosity I'm sure my good 1112 01:08:10,130 --> 01:08:06,030 friend professor share which who is here 1113 01:08:16,420 --> 01:08:10,140 share this the same the same passion I 1114 01:08:23,690 --> 01:08:19,820 hi I'm Irene Klotz with Reuters I'm had 1115 01:08:28,190 --> 01:08:23,700 a couple questions for him I've for mr. 1116 01:08:31,550 --> 01:08:28,200 Martin the the power requirements for 1117 01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:31,560 AMS are pretty extensive and I was just 1118 01:08:36,829 --> 01:08:35,490 curious if there's any problems like not 1119 01:08:39,620 --> 01:08:36,839 as severe is what happened with the 1120 01:08:43,790 --> 01:08:39,630 cooling system shut down last year but 1121 01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:43,800 is there some prioritization of what 1122 01:08:49,610 --> 01:08:46,710 experiments get power in case there's 1123 01:08:52,090 --> 01:08:49,620 not full power available yes absolutely 1124 01:08:55,250 --> 01:08:52,100 on Space Station if there's an emergency 1125 01:08:57,290 --> 01:08:55,260 the there there's a set of priorities 1126 01:09:00,079 --> 01:08:57,300 who gets shut off first who gets shut 1127 01:09:02,110 --> 01:09:00,089 off last in those in those systems and 1128 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:02,120 we work within that system to identify 1129 01:09:06,410 --> 01:09:04,530 AMS is in this configuration right now 1130 01:09:08,750 --> 01:09:06,420 our temperatures are set at this at this 1131 01:09:10,970 --> 01:09:08,760 level we can be shut off for this amount 1132 01:09:14,210 --> 01:09:10,980 of time before we start to harm 1133 01:09:15,470 --> 01:09:14,220 scientific experiment components and 1134 01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:15,480 that so that goes on during a regular 1135 01:09:23,150 --> 01:09:20,490 ongoing basis in operations and yes they 1136 01:09:25,329 --> 01:09:23,160 said that up well ahead of time and we 1137 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:25,339 know where we are in that net order 1138 01:09:30,050 --> 01:09:27,930 where are you just where loads are 1139 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:30,060 considered one of the lower order items 1140 01:09:34,550 --> 01:09:31,410 they are some of the first things that 1141 01:09:36,740 --> 01:09:34,560 get shut off AMS because of its large 1142 01:09:39,610 --> 01:09:36,750 power requirement and need to run 1143 01:09:41,810 --> 01:09:39,620 constantly is higher up in that in that 1144 01:09:43,460 --> 01:09:41,820 prioritization but still down with the 1145 01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:43,470 with the payload obviously you don't 1146 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:46,410 want to shut off the ecosystem first 1147 01:09:51,890 --> 01:09:50,250 before you shut off a paper but but we 1148 01:09:54,050 --> 01:09:51,900 were certainly down in that in that 1149 01:09:58,190 --> 01:09:54,060 range we can also operate at lower 1150 01:10:00,410 --> 01:09:58,200 temperature at lower power settings just 1151 01:10:03,380 --> 01:10:00,420 to maintain a minimum keep-alive power 1152 01:10:04,970 --> 01:10:03,390 if we needed to so we could operate just 1153 01:10:07,550 --> 01:10:04,980 the thermal systems just turn on things 1154 01:10:12,980 --> 01:10:07,560 to make sure that nothing freezes thank 1155 01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:12,990 you for dr. ting the substitution of the 1156 01:10:16,820 --> 01:10:14,850 the Magna the permanent magnet I know 1157 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:16,830 that that all worked out really well 1158 01:10:22,580 --> 01:10:19,170 considering stations being extended but 1159 01:10:26,030 --> 01:10:22,590 could you just clarify if the helium 1160 01:10:28,370 --> 01:10:26,040 tank problems had any any impact on the 1161 01:10:34,070 --> 01:10:28,380 decision to switch and also are there 1162 01:10:39,830 --> 01:10:34,080 he plans for a for using the AMS cryo 1163 01:10:44,930 --> 01:10:39,840 magnet in like an AMS 3 thanks answer 1164 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:44,940 the second part MSO to presumably the 1165 01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:47,730 last 20 years the space station there 1166 01:10:55,729 --> 01:10:51,510 people talk about ending 228 at least 20 1167 01:10:59,840 --> 01:10:55,739 to 20 so indeed there are many people 1168 01:11:02,390 --> 01:10:59,850 talking about ms 03 but perhaps for me 1169 01:11:13,270 --> 01:11:02,400 this is not my highest priority at this 1170 01:11:25,790 --> 01:11:18,919 has not been has not started and we were 1171 01:11:31,930 --> 01:11:25,800 given three years and there was a very 1172 01:11:36,169 --> 01:11:31,940 clear understanding between tue and nasa 1173 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:36,179 we were to be on the space station for 1174 01:11:43,100 --> 01:11:39,570 three years afterwards will be returned 1175 01:11:44,990 --> 01:11:43,110 to earth another experiment will come on 1176 01:11:49,850 --> 01:11:45,000 i think i experiment was identified a 1177 01:11:54,110 --> 01:11:49,860 call access my memories correct so we 1178 01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:54,120 designed the magnet for three years it 1179 01:11:59,300 --> 01:11:57,090 is very difficult to build such a magnet 1180 01:12:02,689 --> 01:11:59,310 nobody has ever succeeded because you 1181 01:12:06,229 --> 01:12:02,699 need to cool such a low temperature so 1182 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:06,239 we had many technical challenges but we 1183 01:12:15,379 --> 01:12:11,250 managed to finish them and we test them 1184 01:12:17,209 --> 01:12:15,389 in the thermal bacon tank in aztec 1185 01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:17,219 because you can attach them in the 1186 01:12:21,890 --> 01:12:19,110 laboratory in laboratory the outside 1187 01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:21,900 temperature and you have a 0 and so 1188 01:12:27,110 --> 01:12:24,480 conduct the heat so so you never get it 1189 01:12:30,770 --> 01:12:27,120 you never get a reliable answer until 1190 01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:30,780 you go to the thermal vacuum tank you 1191 01:12:38,330 --> 01:12:35,489 you pump down the vacuum tank and you 1192 01:12:44,729 --> 01:12:41,910 the environment temperature to simulated 1193 01:12:48,450 --> 01:12:44,739 space move there for quite quite some 1194 01:12:55,250 --> 01:12:48,460 time until the temperature in the tank 1195 01:13:00,209 --> 01:12:55,260 is stable 2.0 point zero zero zero one 1196 01:13:03,630 --> 01:13:00,219 degree per hour namely a dream it is 1197 01:13:06,990 --> 01:13:03,640 stable and then you can see how much 1198 01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:07,000 heat is going to coming into to lose it 1199 01:13:18,570 --> 01:13:11,170 and that turn out to be I think close to 1200 01:13:22,220 --> 01:13:18,580 three years 28 plus minus six months so 1201 01:13:25,050 --> 01:13:22,230 that should be ok because in space 1202 01:13:27,689 --> 01:13:25,060 whether its two-year you approved for 1203 01:13:33,020 --> 01:13:27,699 two years for three years you work for 1204 01:13:40,229 --> 01:13:36,600 whom finishes I remember very clear that 1205 01:13:43,830 --> 01:13:40,239 it was a project in last year and there 1206 01:13:50,130 --> 01:13:43,840 was announcements pay station will go to 1207 01:13:54,689 --> 01:13:50,140 2020 maybe go to 20 28 and then my 1208 01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:54,699 colleague and myself realized there's no 1209 01:14:03,030 --> 01:13:58,290 more shuttle so there's no review 1210 01:14:05,189 --> 01:14:03,040 there's no more shuttle to bring back if 1211 01:14:10,140 --> 01:14:05,199 you don't do something this will become 1212 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:10,150 a museum piece and that's why we made a 1213 01:14:19,470 --> 01:14:14,890 decision to change the mac we have 1214 01:14:25,410 --> 01:14:19,480 studied this change before during the 1215 01:14:27,810 --> 01:14:25,420 period or after manifest would think of 1216 01:14:34,070 --> 01:14:27,820 going up with a satellite or going up 1217 01:14:41,939 --> 01:14:39,900 important very fortunate for us in arson 1218 01:14:44,010 --> 01:14:41,949 in the first institute of physics in off 1219 01:14:47,930 --> 01:14:44,020 in germany where Professor shear is the 1220 01:14:49,709 --> 01:14:47,940 director they have a very precise 1221 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:49,719 machine shop 1222 01:14:58,439 --> 01:14:53,010 and we were able to do this very quickly 1223 01:15:02,310 --> 01:14:58,449 how long was it few weeks hmm six weeks 1224 01:15:05,399 --> 01:15:02,320 we changed America but we've understood 1225 01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:05,409 the step is not we have started random 1226 01:15:13,229 --> 01:15:09,130 over under through the steps and the way 1227 01:15:16,589 --> 01:15:13,239 to compensate the manganese week we add 1228 01:15:22,100 --> 01:15:16,599 more detectors and that also was down 1229 01:15:31,830 --> 01:15:24,989 think we were waiting one day of our 1230 01:15:34,049 --> 01:15:31,840 schedule marshaled an associated press 1231 01:15:35,580 --> 01:15:34,059 alpha leader if you i'm wondering if two 1232 01:15:38,330 --> 01:15:35,590 billion dollars is still the most 1233 01:15:41,100 --> 01:15:38,340 up-to-date accurate figure for the cause 1234 01:15:44,250 --> 01:15:41,110 jmsn are there also annual operating 1235 01:15:50,790 --> 01:15:44,260 costs they're very good to share with 1236 01:15:53,729 --> 01:15:50,800 all the different countries involve a 1237 01:15:55,290 --> 01:15:53,739 this is difficult simply because we have 1238 01:15:57,930 --> 01:15:55,300 all the different institutes many of the 1239 01:16:01,200 --> 01:15:57,940 many institutes provide in kind work or 1240 01:16:03,180 --> 01:16:01,210 they're only provide you know three grad 1241 01:16:06,149 --> 01:16:03,190 students and a professor and they don't 1242 01:16:08,339 --> 01:16:06,159 tell us how much those cost so over the 1243 01:16:10,140 --> 01:16:08,349 years I've been asked multiple times to 1244 01:16:12,029 --> 01:16:10,150 come up with the cost of a ms 2 billion 1245 01:16:14,219 --> 01:16:12,039 dollars is the number right now that i 1246 01:16:17,939 --> 01:16:14,229 would say AMS has cost since the 1247 01:16:21,109 --> 01:16:17,949 beginning since 1994 there are annual 1248 01:16:23,459 --> 01:16:21,119 operating costs most most of those are 1249 01:16:26,279 --> 01:16:23,469 borne by the by the collaboration 1250 01:16:28,020 --> 01:16:26,289 themselves once they move the payload 1251 01:16:32,129 --> 01:16:28,030 operation control center to cern to 1252 01:16:36,689 --> 01:16:32,139 Geneva as they man that with 12 to 15 1253 01:16:38,399 --> 01:16:36,699 people per shift 24 hours a day so that 1254 01:16:39,839 --> 01:16:38,409 gives you an idea of the number of 1255 01:16:42,660 --> 01:16:39,849 people that they will have to have in 1256 01:16:44,879 --> 01:16:42,670 place just for the operations obviously 1257 01:16:46,919 --> 01:16:44,889 they'll they'll share some of the duties 1258 01:16:50,219 --> 01:16:46,929 of operations as well as science 1259 01:16:52,290 --> 01:16:50,229 analysis and only much professor ting on 1260 01:16:54,060 --> 01:16:52,300 the science science teams that will be 1261 01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:54,070 throughout the world clearly those will 1262 01:17:01,950 --> 01:16:56,530 cost something as well mostly borne by 1263 01:17:11,590 --> 01:17:06,870 very difficult to estimate because 1264 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:11,600 there's a tremendous difference in each 1265 01:17:20,290 --> 01:17:17,690 country how people get paid then you 1266 01:17:25,330 --> 01:17:20,300 touch this you become a very sensitive 1267 01:17:30,780 --> 01:17:25,340 subject and so lots of what NASA has 1268 01:17:36,550 --> 01:17:30,790 done is if this is to be done in NASA Oh 1269 01:17:37,930 --> 01:17:36,560 am i right how much this will cause we 1270 01:17:40,330 --> 01:17:37,940 essentially took the total number of 1271 01:17:42,340 --> 01:17:40,340 eight hours and said here's a typical 1272 01:17:45,130 --> 01:17:42,350 man our rate if we were doing it here in 1273 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:45,140 the states will assume it's the same in 1274 01:17:50,380 --> 01:17:49,010 Taiwan earn in Spain or in Germany and 1275 01:17:52,420 --> 01:17:50,390 we'll multiply out the numbers and we'll 1276 01:17:55,300 --> 01:17:52,430 come up with them with the final number 1277 01:17:59,680 --> 01:17:55,310 the operating costs for NASA over the 1278 01:18:01,780 --> 01:17:59,690 next few years will be minimal less than 1279 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:01,790 a million dollars a year for us to to 1280 01:18:07,300 --> 01:18:04,010 man the equipment that we need here 1281 01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:07,310 that's obviously not counting the space 1282 01:18:11,140 --> 01:18:09,110 station cost effect the space station is 1283 01:18:15,820 --> 01:18:11,150 up there but for my office the cost will 1284 01:18:17,740 --> 01:18:15,830 be mental Jim Oberg for NBC News I know 1285 01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:17,750 your general plan is to just watch the 1286 01:18:23,890 --> 01:18:21,050 sky for what falls into the detector do 1287 01:18:26,950 --> 01:18:23,900 you have any models in which you might 1288 01:18:29,980 --> 01:18:26,960 want to aim at a specific area of the 1289 01:18:32,530 --> 01:18:29,990 sky for some specific Astrophysical 1290 01:18:35,290 --> 01:18:32,540 event that's going on that you might 1291 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:35,300 want to ask the station can you go look 1292 01:18:47,470 --> 01:18:42,850 at this location at this moment not yet 1293 01:18:50,710 --> 01:18:47,480 the calls for a charged particle it 1294 01:18:54,100 --> 01:18:50,720 bends in the intergalactic magnetic 1295 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:54,110 field in the between the galaxies their 1296 01:18:59,170 --> 01:18:55,850 magnetic field as you don't know that 1297 01:19:01,390 --> 01:18:59,180 you don't know where to point the 1298 01:19:05,070 --> 01:19:01,400 pointing is not important it is 1299 01:19:09,780 --> 01:19:05,080 important who make very high-energy 1300 01:19:12,830 --> 01:19:09,790 light rays indeed we'll have it 1301 01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:12,840 p.s system will have two very precise 1302 01:19:19,260 --> 01:19:16,720 star tracker so we follow we also made a 1303 01:19:22,530 --> 01:19:19,270 lightweight and extremely high energies 1304 01:19:25,410 --> 01:19:22,540 to treating the electron bone and with 1305 01:19:28,170 --> 01:19:25,420 very high accuracy because I mentioned 1306 01:19:31,440 --> 01:19:28,180 at the end who have a stack of 17 1307 01:19:35,060 --> 01:19:31,450 radiations of the detector specially 1308 01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:35,070 major major light rays and for that 1309 01:19:44,460 --> 01:19:38,170 indeed if it's something new at very 1310 01:19:47,970 --> 01:19:44,470 high energy we may come to present this 1311 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:47,980 to nasa to ask for a special orientation 1312 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:51,850 but at this moment no I'm sorry to 1313 01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:55,210 bother hi clara moskowitz with space 1314 01:19:59,760 --> 01:19:57,610 calm and I know that you've talked about 1315 01:20:02,550 --> 01:19:59,770 the long saga of getting final approval 1316 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:02,560 for this experiment and for a while the 1317 01:20:06,510 --> 01:20:04,690 question of whether or not the sts-134 1318 01:20:08,550 --> 01:20:06,520 flight would even go up was up in the 1319 01:20:10,530 --> 01:20:08,560 air can you talk about what you felt 1320 01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:10,540 when you learned that this flight was 1321 01:20:21,500 --> 01:20:12,930 actually going to launch your experiment 1322 01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:21,510 but it's better he answer we knew we 1323 01:20:27,330 --> 01:20:25,570 were asked that at NASA at JSC we were 1324 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:27,340 asked to continue processing the payload 1325 01:20:30,930 --> 01:20:29,890 as if it were going into the shuttle we 1326 01:20:34,590 --> 01:20:30,940 were also told that we didn't have a 1327 01:20:36,180 --> 01:20:34,600 shuttle in the same breath it was it was 1328 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:36,190 difficult and it was difficult to keep 1329 01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:38,890 the team together and so just the mere 1330 01:20:44,430 --> 01:20:41,530 fact of adding sts-134 was a relief to 1331 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:44,440 my team who had been continuously 1332 01:20:52,290 --> 01:20:45,970 working on this not knowing whether or 1333 01:20:55,380 --> 01:20:52,300 not they had mission hi Mike Cronin from 1334 01:20:57,300 --> 01:20:55,390 the daily we know that we don't know 1335 01:20:59,880 --> 01:20:57,310 what dark matter is I know a little bit 1336 01:21:01,890 --> 01:20:59,890 about antimatter but have a little fun 1337 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:01,900 with this question what do you think we 1338 01:21:10,050 --> 01:21:06,970 might find using this AMS about dark 1339 01:21:13,350 --> 01:21:10,060 matter and what might that knowledge 1340 01:21:17,070 --> 01:21:13,360 lead us to do whether it's interstellar 1341 01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:17,080 travel or the existence of opposite 1342 01:21:22,310 --> 01:21:20,110 charged beings that mirror ourselves or 1343 01:21:24,689 --> 01:21:22,320 something like that 1344 01:21:29,930 --> 01:21:24,699 you don't want me to answer this 1345 01:21:33,270 --> 01:21:29,940 question because I'm not qualified 1346 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:33,280 anything most physicists who predict the 1347 01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:38,170 future normally end up regretting not 1348 01:21:44,399 --> 01:21:41,730 very difficult to predict the future my 1349 01:21:46,859 --> 01:21:44,409 responsibility and the responsibility of 1350 01:21:49,709 --> 01:21:46,869 my senior collaborators is to make sure 1351 01:21:52,529 --> 01:21:49,719 the instrument is correct because the 1352 01:21:55,259 --> 01:21:52,539 detector is so sensitive everything we 1353 01:22:00,029 --> 01:21:55,269 measure if something you will one make 1354 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:00,039 sure it's done correctly speculation is 1355 01:22:08,189 --> 01:22:03,130 dangerous okay I think we have one 1356 01:22:10,799 --> 01:22:08,199 question at Kennedy Space Center just 1357 01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:10,809 one todd halvorson of florida today i'm 1358 01:22:17,189 --> 01:22:14,010 just wondering if professor tin can 1359 01:22:20,279 --> 01:22:17,199 speak to the difference in capabilities 1360 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:20,289 of the cryo magnet and the permanent 1361 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:24,130 magnet place yes very good question 1362 01:22:32,399 --> 01:22:27,489 permanent magnet does not require power 1363 01:22:35,310 --> 01:22:32,409 supply and because its way it's so 1364 01:22:38,939 --> 01:22:35,320 massive it doesn't the temperature is 1365 01:22:43,319 --> 01:22:38,949 easy to keep a constant require no 1366 01:22:46,859 --> 01:22:43,329 maintenance and our permanent magnet 1367 01:22:49,589 --> 01:22:46,869 will have shown in 12 years the magnetic 1368 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:49,599 field has now changed and therefore in 1369 01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:52,210 20 to 30 years we'll keep it the same 1370 01:22:59,459 --> 01:22:56,530 magnetic field the disadvantage is the 1371 01:23:01,890 --> 01:22:59,469 field is much weaker five times weaker 1372 01:23:04,319 --> 01:23:01,900 than the superconducting likely to 1373 01:23:07,649 --> 01:23:04,329 compensate that we're putting more 1374 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:07,659 detectors and more longer arms so 1375 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:10,570 increase the measurement accuracy and so 1376 01:23:18,750 --> 01:23:13,210 the detector resolution with the 1377 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:18,760 permanent magnet is not compromised I've 1378 01:23:24,370 --> 01:23:21,410 answer your question 1379 01:23:26,620 --> 01:23:24,380 I think so i think that is the end of 1380 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:26,630 our briefing today next up coming up on 1381 01:23:32,110 --> 01:23:28,850 NASA TV 11 a.m. central time we'll have
