Optical frequency standards based on spectroscopy of Rubidium vapor benefit from high component technology readiness level, allow for vapor-cell micro-integration and therefore physics package miniaturization. In this presentation, we discuss the optical properties of Rubidium beyond the D1/D2 line and show recent results of high precision absolute frequency measurements of the 6P manifold in conjunction with hyperfine structure constants evaluation. Additionally, we give an overview of two concepts we currently study for future compact frequency references onboard small satellites. One is based on direct modulation transfer spectroscopy of the 5S→ 6P transition using GaN based diode laser operating at 420 nm and the other on spectroscopy of the two-photon transition from 5S→ 5D at 778 nm.
