Abstract:	We demonstrate a Rb fountain clock which has a small cold collision shift that is cancelled by detuning the microwave cavity. We also demonstrate a juggling Rb clock and describe the design concept for RACE, a microgravity Rb clock for the ISS. Finally we discuss optical frequency atomic clocks.
