Research abstract
Not Available GPS Atomic Clocks have been evolving since the 1970's when the first Rubidium and Cesium units were placed on orbit. Today's 24 satellite GPS constellation of Atomic Clocks consists of 20 Cesiums and 4 Rubidiums. Next generation GPS Cesium Clocks, have been shelved as the constellation has shifted to all Rubidium. In order to further advance orbiting clock technology within the constraints of payload size, reliability, guaranteed performance, and PMP requirements, our experienced GPS Team believes it may be fruitful to investigate the use of the Thallium atom utilizing recent advances in laser pumping and detection. The Thallium resonance offers significant advantages over the use of other clock transitions - including Rubidium, Cesium, Stored Ions and Hydrogen Masers. We offer a significant legacy from our space-oriented, Small Business perspective. We proudly point to GPS 29, 30 and 34 - these three GPS satellites contain Kernco's Cesium Atomic Clocks which have the best performance record(s) in the24 unit GPS constellation.
