Abstract

This paper describes new oscillator and atomic clock technologies that, when combined, create a master oscillator for use in deep-space navigation and science measurements. This atomic clock promises to execute spacecraft navigation using a one-way downlink only method, saving many millions of dollars per year. We will describe the complementary technology developments by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory toward a space-ready mercury atomic-ion clock and by the Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, in reducing the size, mass, and operating power of its quartz, ultrastable oscillator.
