The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a general-purpose high-energy particle physics detector. It was installed on the International Space Station (ISS) in May 2011 to conduct a unique long-duration mission of fundamental physics research in space. Precision measurements by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station of the primary cosmic-ray particles and nuclei...

The remarkable exploration of the final frontier of the heliosphere started in December 2004 when Voyager 1 crossed the solar wind termination shock (TS) at 94 AU from the Sun. This was followed by Voyager 2 in August 2007 at 84 AU from the Sun. This points to a TS that moves and probably also a north-south asymmetry in the geometry of the heliosphere, apart from the predicted large nose-tail...
