Abstract

NIST, in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL), the University of Colorado, Politecnico di Torino and Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (SAO) is building a laser-cooled cesium-beam atomic clock for flight on the International Space Station (ISS). The clock, named PARCS (Primary Atomic Reference Clock in Space) is designed to perform certain tests of relativity and fundamental physics and to serve as a primary frequency standard.
