Abstract

Abstract: We briefly describe a 'third generation' follow-on to the Cold Atom Lab mission, currently operating aboard the ISS and the Bose–Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Lab mission, which is expected to launch in 2026. This mission would feature a modular design that would allow critical hardware to be optimized for specific investigations while allowing easy exchange with other hardware to enable a multi-user facility.
