The clock is the most stable ever produced for space applications with a frequency stability better than 10-14 day.
Eight PHMs are already being integrated into the payloads of the first four satellites of the Galileo IOV navigation system, each satellite being equipped with two PHMs as a master clock.
The frequency stability of the PHMs will provide the precision required by the Galileo system for over eight hours without any correction or upload from the ground.
