International space station-based particle detector has found certain unusual signs, the origins of which are unknown to experts.

A cutting-edge particle detector mounted on the International Space Station is set to get a “second new life.”

“By 2030, AMS will extend the energy range of the positron flux and reduce the error by a factor of two compared with current data,” said Sam Ting , AMS spokesperson. The electronic components of the new update are now under development as “validation” and “qualification” models. These models will undergo rigorous testing at CERN, INFN Perugia, and IABG in Germany, and successful models will proceed to production for the final flight version.

“Everything is going very, very fast. This is a requirement, otherwise we arrive too late at the ISS for the upgrade to make sense,” said Corrado Gargiulo, chief engineer at CERN.
