The ACES mission: System development and test status

Original language description

Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) is an ESA mission in fundamental physics based on a new generation of clocks operated in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station. Installed at the external payload facility of the Columbus module, ACES will accommodate two atomic clocks: PHARAO, a primary frequency standard based on samples of laser cooled Cs atoms, and the active H-maser SHM. The two on-board clocks will generate a time scale with fractional frequency instability and inaccuracy of a few parts in 10^16. The ACES frequency reference will be distributed to ground by a MicroWave Link (MWL) and used to compare distant clocks.
