Résumé
The performance of optical clocks has strongly progressed in recent years, and accuracies and instabilities of 1 part in 10<sup>18</sup> are expected in the near future. The operation of optical clocks in space provides new scientific and technological opportunities. In particular, an earth-orbiting satellite containing an ensemble of optical clocks would allow a precision measurement of the gravitational redshift, navigation with improved precision, mapping of the earth's gravitational potential by relativistic geodesy, and comparisons between ground clocks.
