The master atomic clock ensemble at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington D.C., which provides the time standard for the U.S. Department of Defense. [1] The rack mounted units in the background are caesium beam clocks. The black units in the foreground are hydrogen maser standards.
Atomic clock ensemble at the U.S. Naval Observatory. The U.S. Naval Observatory operates two “Master Clock” facilities, one in Washington, DC, and the other at Schriever SFB near Colorado Springs, CO. The primary facility, in Washington, D.C. maintains 57 HP/Agilent/Symmetricom 5071A-001 high performance cesium atomic clocks and 24 hydrogen ...

"Think of the atomic clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory (in Washington). They're the heartbeat of the nation, synchronizing everything. You're going to want a heartbeat on the moon," Coggins said.
In 1971, [1] Joseph C. Hafele, a physicist, and Richard E. Keating, an astronomer, took four cesium-beam atomic clocks aboard commercial airliners. They flew twice around the world, first eastward, then westward, and compared the clocks in motion to stationary clocks at the United States Naval Observatory.
