Abstract
PHARAO (Projet d'Horloge Atomique par Refroidissement d'Atomes en Orbite), which is being developed by the CNES, is the first primary frequency standard specially designed for operation in space. This cold cesium clock is the main instrument of the ESA mission ACES (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space). ACES payload will be mounted on-board the International Space Station to perform fundamental physics.
