The Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory (BECCAL) is a NASA-DLR collaboration which will be a facility for conducting experiments with ultra-cold atoms and Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs) aboard the International Space Station (ISS). BECCAL will enable the development of future quantum sensors based on matter-wave interferometry. The long term microgravity conditions on the ISS offer a unique environment for precision measurements as well as for fundamental research. We report on experimental opportunities and possible measurements with BECCAL. A detailed insight into the physics-package, where the ultra-cold atomic ensembles will be created and manipulated to perform these measurements will be given. Additionally, we show the microgravity and space heritage BECCAL is based on.
