abstract: 'The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics
  experiment that will study cosmic rays in the \ensuremath\sim100 MeV to 1 TeV
  range and will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least
  3 years. A first version of AMS-02, AMS-01, flew aboard the space shuttle Discovery
  from June 2 to June 12, 1998, and collected 10$^8$ cosmic ray triggers. Part
  of the Mir space station was within the AMS-01 field of view during the four day
  Mir docking phase of this flight. We have reconstructed an image of this part of
  the Mir space station using secondary \ensuremath\pi$^-$ and \ensuremath\mu$^-$
  emissions from primary cosmic rays interacting with Mir. This is the first time
  this reconstruction was performed in AMS-01, and it is important for understanding
  potential backgrounds during the 3 year AMS-02 mission.'
