NASA is sending an atomic clock into deep space. HowStuffWorks explains how this groundbreaking clock will revolutionize space travel.

After more than two years of pushing the timekeeping frontiers and improving spacecraft navigation in deep space, General Atomics has announced the successful completion of NASA's Deep Space Atomic Clock (DSAC) mission.

Navigating in space is difficult, and as missions venture further and further into space, the need for precise navigation increases. NASA launched the Deep

NASA’s Deep Space Atomic Clock is working toward giving far-flung space explorers more autonomy when navigating. In a new paper published in the journal Nature, the mission reports progress in their work to improve the ability of space-based atomic clocks to measure time consistently over long periods. Known as stability, this feature also impacts the operation of GPS satellites that help people navigate on Earth, so this work also has the potential to increase the autonomy of next-generation GPS spacecraft. Spacecraft that venture beyond our Moon rely on communication with ground stations...

NASA has selected two new missions to study Venus to understand how Earths nearest planetary neighbour became an inferno-like world when it may have been the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate.
