US-SPACE-SHUTTLE-ISS
This NASA photo obtained on July 15, 2011 shows the International Space Station with Space Shuttle Atlantis on July 12, 2011 docked on the right and a Russian Soyuz on the far left. In the foreground is the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment installed during the STS-134 mission. AMS is a state-of-the-art particle physics detector designed to use the unique environment of space to advance knowledge of the universe and lead to the understanding of the universe's origin by searching for antimatter and dark matter, and measuring cosmic rays. NASA was troubleshooting one of five primary computers on board the Atlantis space shuttle on July 15, 2011 after it failed late July 14, setting off an alarm that awakened astronauts. The US space agency said General Purpose Computer (GPC) 4 "was being used as the systems management computer when it failed at 6:07 pm EDT (2207 GMT) Thursday, generating an alarm that awakened the Atlantis crew."
