Abstract: The ESA-NASA technology demonstration flight of a pair of hydrogen masers on the EURECA III mission is planned for 1998. The ESA part of the experiment will have a maser built by Neuchatel Observatory and a microwave T&F transfer system derived from the existing PRARE system. The NASA part of the experiment will have a maser built by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and a laser T transfer system. The technology demonstration experiment is described with its expected outcomes and applications.
