Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) is a multi-user facility that will provide the ability to study ultra-cold quantum gases in a microgravity environment. The laboratory is an internal payload that will operate on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2016. Principal Investigators from various universities will trade off in designing experiment sequences that vary different parameters, such as magnetic field strength or timing. The primary science data consists of two images of the cold atoms captured successively at the end of each experiment.

Bose-Einstein-Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory (BECCAL) - CARIOQA-PMP

Christian Schubert

This presentation introduces the projects BECCAL and CARIOQA-PMP. BECCAL (Bose-Einstein-Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory) is a NASA-DLR project for operating a payload for experiments on cold atoms, atom optics and atom interferometry on board of the International Space Station. CARIOQA-PMP (Cold Atom Rubidium Interferometry for Quantum Accelerometry - Pathfinder Mission Preparation) aims for the development of hardware and a mission concept for demonstrating atom-interferometric accelerometry onboard of dedicated satellite. The background is to use such sensors e.g. in future missions for earth observation.
