European Payload. [The core of the] ACES (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space) [project] is a laser-cooled caesium atomic clock (Pharao), which exploits the microgravity conditions onboard the Space Station ... Pharao will improve clock frequency stability and accuracy by a factor of 100 compared with the best measurements currently achievable on Earth, opening up new opportunities in various fields of fundamental research and applications. This ultra-precise measurement of time will allow relativistic measurements and tests, applications in atmospheric physics and geodesy, navigation and advanced telecommunications. 3, record 1, English, - Pharao
