Read paragraphs 12 through 14 from the passage What Is an Atomic Clock? (12) Up to 50 times more stable than the atomic clocks on GPS satellites, NASA's Deep Space Atomic Clock is intended to by Arielle Samuelson (excerpt) be the most stable atomic clock ever flown in space. It achieves this stability by using mercury ions In 2019, NASA introduced the Deep Space Atomic Clock. In this excerpt, writer Arielle Samuelson, who has written extensively (13) lons are atoms that have a net electric charge, rather than being electrically neutral. In any atomic clock, the atoms are about NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explains why this new "time machine" is important. contained in a vacuum chamber, and in some of those clocks, atoms interact with the vacuum chamber walls. Environmental changes such as temperature will then cause similar changes in the atoms and lead to frequency errors. (1) Developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, the Deep Space Atomic Clock is a serious upgrade to Many atomic clocks use neutral atoms, but because the mercury ions have an electric charge, they can be contained in an the satellite-based atomic clocks that, for example, enable the electromagnetic "trap" to prevent this interaction from happening, allowing the Deep Space Atomic Clock to achieve a new GPS on your phone level of precision. (2) Ultimately, this new technology could make spacecraft navigation to distant locations like Mars more autonomous, But (14) For missions going to distant destinations like Mars or other planets, such precision makes autonomous navigation what is an atomic clock? How are they used in space navigation, and what makes the Deep Space Atomic Clock different? Read possible with minimal communication to and from Earth - a huge improvement in how spacecraft are currently navigated. on to get all the answers. How does the information in paragraph 12 connect the information provided in paragraphs 13 and 14? Why do we use clocks to navigate in space? (3) To determine a spacecraft's distance from Earth, navigators send a signal to the spacecraft, which then returns it to Earth O A. by explaining the process navigators use to calculate a spacecraft's trajectory using communications to and The time the signal requires to make that two-way journey from Earth reveals the spacecraft's distance from Earth because the signal travels at a known speed (the speed of light) O B. by explaining how the use of mercury ions in the Deep Space Atomic Clock makes autonomous navigation (4) While it may sound complicated, most of us use this concept possible every day.
