STE-QUEST -- Space Time Explorer and QUantum Equivalence principle Space Test: The 2022 medium-class mission concept
Naceur Gaaloul, Holger Ahlers, Leonardo Badurina +45
Space-borne quantum technologies, particularly those based on atom interferometry, are heralding a new era of strategic and robust space exploration. The unique conditions of space…
MAQRO -- BPS 2023 Research Campaign Whitepaper
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +43
The objective of the proposed MAQRO mission is to harness space for achieving long free-fall times, extreme vacuum, nano-gravity, and cryogenic temperatures to test the foundations…
BOOST -- A Satellite Mission to Test Lorentz Invariance Using High-Performance Optical Frequency References
Norman Gürlebeck, Lisa Wörner, Thilo Schuldt +15
BOOST (BOOst Symmetry Test) is a proposed satellite mission to search for violations of Lorentz invariance by comparing two optical frequency references. One is based on a long-ter…
JOKARUS - Design of a compact optical iodine frequency reference for a sounding rocket mission
Vladimir Schkolnik, Klaus Döringshoff, Franz Balthasar Gutsch +9
We present the design of a compact absolute optical frequency reference for space applications based on hyperfine transitions in molecular iodine with a targeted fractional frequen…
Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49
Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
Design of a dual species atom interferometer for space
Thilo Schuldt, Christian Schubert, Markus Krutzik +54
Atom interferometers have a multitude of proposed applications in space including precise measurements of the Earth's gravitational field, in navigation & ranging, and in fundament…
