NASA Scientists Excited to Use the Most Precise Atomic Clocks as It Will Help Them Explore Deep Space Over the years, many new amenities have been installed in space, one of them being atomic clocks.

According to scientists at NIST in Boulder, their newest atomic clock, the NIST-F4, will help track time more precisely and help put global time on a more accurate frequency.

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate. In 2003, engineers from Germany and ...
