The AMS-01 magnetic spectrometer that flew on the Space Shuttle for ten days and the AMS-02 experiment that will be on the International Space Station for three years offer unique looks at cosmic rays. While the majority of cosmic rays come from astrophysical sources, a small component may be from the annihilation of weakly interacting dark matter particles. We outline our current progress in a search for such a component in the negatively charged particles seen in the AMS-01 detector. This includes simulation of the production of cosmic rays from dark matter annihilation, their propagation through the galaxy, and the signal they would leave in the AMS-01 detector.
