A new atomic clock in space could help us measure elevations on Earth

What if we could measure height differences on Earth to the centimeter from space? ESA’s ACES mission on the ISS links ultra-precise atomic clocks in orbit with those on Earth — enabling more accurate global elevation data. This could transform geodesy and help refine height reference systems worldwide.

ILRS Virtual World Tour 2021

Due to the COVID 19, we have had to postpone our laser workshops, our annual seminal events, in 2020 and 2021. The ILRS again wishes to provide the opportunity for our worldwide community to meet, at least virtually, and share. Following the success of the Virtual World Tour last year, we will hold another Virtual World Tour between October 25-29, 2021, to virtually visit 5 stations in 5 days, stopping at Herstmonceux (UK), Wetzell (DE), Mendeleevo (RU), Shanghai (PRC), Monument Peak (USA).
