The LASSO Experiment
| Abstract: | The LASSO experiment is an approach towards an internationally coordinated technical assessment of a system which promises to provide a synchronisation of clocks bound to time and frequency standard laboratories, with an accuracy of one nanosecond using existing or near ground-based laser stations via a geostationary satellite (SIRIO-2). The purpose of this paper is twofold; to present the LASSO mission and the principle of the overall experiment, and to underline the system performance and the technical details concerning - on-board equipment, - ground segment, - operational configuration. To conclude, we will show the future prospects of the LASSO experiment together with possible implementations. |
