The Williams College Department of Physics and Astronomy will              purchase equipment to receive and study time and frequency signals from         Global Positioning Satellite transmitters.  An existing atomic hydrogen         maser frequency standard will provide a stable frequency reference for          comparing signals from different satellites and for comparing via               computer link the satellite signals received at Williamstown, MA, and           at the National Bureau of Standards in Boulder, CO.  Applications to            navigation and solar system ranging and to time and frequency transfer          between remote sites will illustrate the power of this new technology           and its value to science.  The telemetry technology will itself be              studied using the receiver's own diagnostic displays.  Special                  teaching lab modules using this equipment will illustrate the                   fundamental properties of space and time that students in introductory          physics courses have been learning in class and will introduce them to          state-of-the-art technology.  The equipment will provide a basis for a          new course designed to introduce students not intending a science major         to modern notions of space and time and their relationship to modern            technology.  The equipment will also be used by Senior Honors and other         students doing research projects with our experimental low temperature          atomic hydrogen maser.                                                                                                                                               In addition to NSF support, participants will contribute                   approximately an additional 15% toward the costs of the program.
