Abstract
We describe progress towards the development of a small mercury (Hg+) ion clock suitable for space use. A√small clock occupying a 1- to 2-liter volume and producing a stability of 10−12/ τ would significantly advance the state of spacequalified atomic clocks. Based on recent measurements, this technology should produce long-term stability as good as 10−15.
