mSTAR: Testing special relativity in space using high performance optical frequency references
The proposed space mission mini Space-Time Asymmetry Research (mSTAR) aims at a test of special relativity by performing a clock-clock comparison experiment in a low-Earth orbit. Using clocks with instabilies at or below the 1·10-15 level at orbit time, the Kennedy-Thorndike coefficient will be measured with an up to two orders of magnitude higher accuracy than the current limit set by ground-based experiments. In the current baseline design, mSTAR utilizes an optical absolute frequency reference based on molecular iodine and a length-reference based on a high-finesse optical cavity. Current efforts aim at a space compatible design of the two clocks and improving the long-term stability of the cavity reference. In an ongoing Phase A study, the feasibility of accommodating the experiment on a SaudiSat 4 bus is investigated.
