The Cold Atom Lab on @Space_Station has simultaneously produced two species of quantum gases for the 1st time in space! This feat brings us closer to enabling new quantum tech for navigation & planetary exploration, including studies of Earth. Learn more: https://t.co/y6kAjSEeUd
We have a very cool update: Since its launch to @Space_Station, NASA’s Cold Atom Lab has traveled over roughly 1 BILLION kilometers in space! That’s about the average distance from the Earth to Saturn!
