The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched one of its most precise science experiments to date — the Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES)—to the International Space Station (ISS).

Its clock signals will be transmitted back to Earth using two distinct methods, which will then be matched against ground-based atomic clocks to catch even the tiniest drift. The most precise ...

The atomic clocks were launched aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the ISS, along with food, resupplies and new experiments for the astronauts. The atomic clock payload to be installed on the ...
