Cosmic ray hunter installed on space station | Reuters: "(Reuters) - The $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer particle detector was mounted outside the International Space Station on Thursday for an ambitious survey to discover new forms of matter.
The visiting shuttle Endeavour astronauts used robotic cranes to pluck the 7.5-ton instrument, known as AMS, out of their ship's cargo hold and install it onto the space station's metal truss, where it will operate throughout the life of the station."
