Abstract: | The first phase of the NAVELEX/NRL/USNO Master Clock (MC) upgrade program has been completed with the delivery of two VLG11B Hydrogen Masers to the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO). After installation in a specially prepared Maser Laboratory with redundant environmental control, and a ten-day "burn-in" operation, the masers were independently tuned. Their subsequent performance caused a review of our plans for their operational use as part of the USNO MC complex. A revised concept is the basis for system integration presently in progress. |
