India to make its own atomic clocks for use on satellites

[trainer]

It has come to light that the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is currently involved in developing rubidium-based, high-precision atomic clocks meant to be used on the next series of its navigation satellites. Such timepieces use electronic transition frequency as their frequency standard, which translates into extremely accurate timekeeping.

The chairman of ISRO, A.S. Kiran Kumar has said regarding the matter that the agency is crafting a seven-satellite regional navigation constellation in India. The four that are already up make use of European atomic clocks. Since the Indian satellites are aimed towards showing the exact position and time of persons and objects on earth for civil and military purposes, they need to possess atomic clocks in order to keep extremely accurate time as they send signals.

Great news while focusing on the big things we must not forget about the small ones

what will be the accuracy of this clock?

what will be the accuracy of this clock?

It takes about 15 to 20 million years for a change of one second to register on an atomic clock , depending on the construction of the clock
EDIT:By change I meant error.
