Space Most accurate space clock to launch – and count down to destruction. A network of Earth's best clocks will be synchronised with the most accurate one ever sent into space.

The team hopes a prototype will be ready by late 2025. Related reading: For more about Holly's Optical Atomic Strontium Ion Clock, check out the OASIC project on NASA's website.; For more about ...

From space, the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space will link to some of the most accurate clocks on Earth to create a synchronized network, which will support tests of fundamental physics.

Fortunately, no one had to fly home by the seat of their pants (on fire), but it did continue the clock on Rubio's extended stay on the ISS. On February 25, 2023, the Soyuz MS-23 arrived.

There are hundreds of atomic clocks in orbit right now, perched on satellites all over Earth. We depend on them for GPS location, Internet timing, stock trading and even space navigation.

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate. In 2003, engineers from Germany and ...
