Atomic clock ensemble in space (ACES) data analysis

摘要

The Atomic Clocks Ensemble in Space (ACES/PHARAO mission, ESA & CNES) will be installed on board the International Space Station (ISS) next year. A crucial part of this experiment is its two-way microwave link (MWL), which will compare the timescale generated on board with those provided by several ground stations disseminated on the Earth. A dedicated data analysis center is being implemented at SYRTE-Observatoire de Paris, where our team currently develops theoretical modelling, numerical simulations and the data analysis software itself.
