An optical lattice clock breadboard demonstrator for the I-SOC mission on the ISS

The I-SOC (Space Optical Clock on ISS) mission [1] is an ESA mission whose main goal is testing the Einstein Equivalence Principle and performing relativistic geodesy from space. It will be based on a strontium lattice clock on the ISS, which will be compared with ground clocks using advanced freque...

More Information
Summary:The I-SOC (Space Optical Clock on ISS) mission [1] is an ESA mission whose main goal is testing the Einstein Equivalence Principle and performing relativistic geodesy from space. It will be based on a strontium lattice clock on the ISS, which will be compared with ground clocks using advanced frequency link technologies, optical and microwave. The space clock will have 1×10 -17 fractional inaccuracy, and ground clocks intercomparisons will be possible at the 10 -18 level.
