We’re keeping time in space ⏱️ For the first time, a fully European active hydrogen maser — one of the most precise clocks on Earth — is running at our deep-space ground station in New Norcia, Australia. Why it matters? These ultra-stable clocks are the heartbeat of deep-space missions, navigation, and even fundamental physics experiments. And now, Europe has its own! 📹 @europeanspaceagency 🎞️ Safran Timing Technologies; ESA; ESA/DiGOS Potsdam GmbH; @gettyimages; @hubbleesa; ESA/BepiColombo/MT
