A new type of miniature atomic clock could provide better timing over the span of weeks and months compared with current systems. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology ...

China’s state aerospace conglomerate has begun batch-producing a rubidium atomic clock compact enough to fit roughly in the palm of a hand, a step that could sharpen the country’s satellite navigation ...

Orolia has introduced an upgraded edition of its low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) miniaturized rubidium oscillator product line, the mRO-50 Ruggedized, to meet the latest military and ...

The rubidium clocks carried by the Galileo project's GIOVE-A satellite are operating largely as expected after their first year in orbit. Signals from GIOVE-A, together with those from GPS satellites, ...

Ten years after it was placed in orbit as part of the four-spacecraft Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, the IRNSS-1F’s onboard imported atomic clock, a critical component for providing ...

ColdQuanta has been awarded a 5-year subcontract to develop portable atomic clocks for the Office of Naval Research. ColdQuanta will serve as a subcontractor to Vescent Photonics, which secured the ...

This is a prototype rubidium “atomic clock” developed for Block I Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites about 1974. It dates from the “concept validation phase” of the program, from 1974 through ...
