Research technologies needed to significantly advance Department of Defense (DoD) capabilities to operate spacecraft in the harsh radiation environment of MEO (Medium-Earth Orbits).
"One of the payloads is NASA's DSAC (Deep Space Atomic Clock), a technology demonstration mission to validate a miniaturized, ultra-precise mercury-ion atomic clock that is 100 times more stable than today?s best navigation clocks."
