 |
Good morning, here’s your Monday morning briefing to set you up for the day ahead. Look out for these three things happening around the world today.
NASA launches Deep Space Atomic Clock
NASA will today launch its Deep Space Atomic Clock after two decades of development.
Go deeper with GlobalData
Spacecrafts currently rely on a system that bounces signals to and from Earth in order to determine their location and destination. Depending on where a spacecraft is located, it can take up to a few hours for it to receive a signal. Placing an atomic clock in space will allow astronauts to receive this information faster.
It is thought that this technology could be used in self-driving spacecrafts in the future. A spacecraft fitted with an atomic clock would be able to use the signals it receives to determine its location and recalculate its route.
The Deep Space Atomic Clock will launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket along with a number of other military, government and research satellites.

Musk will be joined by the likes of NASA astronauts Tim Peake and Chris Hadfield, entertainers such as Bill Nye and Brian May, and business minds like Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith and Tony Fadell, the inventor of the Apple iPod.
Starmus is taking place at the Hallenstadion event space in Zurich, Switzerland, over the next six days.
