April 18, Fineko/abc.az. NASA is developing a satellite with quantum sensor to measure Earth's gravity.

ABC.AZ reports that a vacuum chamber with rubidium atoms cooled to absolute zero will be on board of QGG Pathfinder satellite. Interaction with lasers will make it possible to track Earth's gravity as it moves in orbit.

The device will provide important information for navigation, mining, and national security.
