NASA Declares No Room for Antimatter Experiment, Science (subscription)

“The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a model of international cooperation, led by a dynamic Nobel Prize winner, and promises to do impressive science in space. But it may never get a chance to do its thing. The problem is that NASA has no room on its space shuttle to launch the $1.5 billion AMS mission, which is designed to search for antimatter from its perch on the international space station. “Every shuttle flight that I have has got to be used to finish the station,” NASA Administrator Michael Griffin told a Senate panel on 28 February.”
