The space shuttle Endeavour launched from Kennedy Space Center on 16 May 2011 for its final mission, a flight to the International Space Station. It took with it the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02), an experiment that will look for evidence of dark matter and antimatter. View CERN's webcast of the launch, followed by explanations from AMS scientists. View the AMS installation on the International Space Station on 19 May 2011.
