Control electronics for precision measurements on a sounding rocket. — •Wolfgang Bartosch, Thijs Wendrich, Ernst Rasel, and Wolfgang Ertmer — Institut für Quantenoptik, Universität Hannover

Interferometry experiments with ultra-cold degenerate quantum gases under microgravity conditions offer possibilities to test fundamental laws of physics to unprecedented precision. The MAIUS-1 mission will explore BEC interferometry in space. Operation on sounding rockets poses stringent requirements on the mass, volume and especially features such as reliability robustness of the payload. In this poster we show the electronics we designed to control an atom interferometer experiment on a sounding rocket. We had to downsize lab filling electronics to match the requirements on a sounding rocket both in size and toughness while maintaining its accuracy.

The QUANTUS/MAIUS project is supported by the German Space Agency DLR with funds provided by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) under grant number 604 107 22.
