Figure 15

A first draft of the community road-map proposed for discussion with ESA. The figure shows the main milestones of the road-map, where the colour code indicates the relevance for the three main areas of Earth Observation (purple), Atomic Clocks (black) and Fundamental Physics (red). The main cold atom species targeted by the milestones are indicated with circles coloured blue for strontium and green for rubidium. These do not necessarily indicate that a milestone is based on this Cold Atom species, but may also indicate that this milestone will contribute to its space readiness. The years indicated in each milestone represent the starting date of the milestone activity or the launch date of a mission, assuming preparatory work took place before. The further the timeline extends into the future, the more uncertain the milestone starting date becomes. Further details about each of the milestones and their interdependences are given in Sect. 8
