NASA’s test mission for the atomic clock will last approximately a year to start, and the agency is hopeful that it could yield new options for future spacecraft navigation.

NASA Scientists Excited to Use the Most Precise Atomic Clocks as It Will Help Them Explore Deep Space Over the years, many new amenities have been installed in space, one of them being atomic clocks.

That's why atomic physicists at NASA want to build a more precise, more autonomous atomic clock. Sponsor Message The team hopes a prototype will be ready by late 2025.

NASA wants to come up with an out-of-this-world way to keep track of time, putting the moon on its own souped-up clock. It’s not quite a time zone like those on Earth, but an entire frame of ...

On our planet no less than 450 atomic clocks installed in some 80 international laboratories are used for the task, but it’s unclear at this point how many of them would be needed on the Moon ...

NASA Johnson Due to the moon's lower gravity and its motion relative to Earth, moon time passes 56 microseconds faster each earth day . As a result, an atomic clock on Earth would run at a ...
