If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Giovanni Barontini. Atom interferometers are reaching an exquisite performance and expected to be sensitive probes of fundamental interactions. Thanks to the clean environment and long observation times possible, space promises to unfold the full potential of such sensors. In this talk, I will report on the first realization of a cold atom experiment in space achieved by the sounding rocket mission MAIUS -1. Within 6 minutes of microgravity and 81 experiments, the chip-based BEC machine demonstrated a high degree of stability and a good agreement with quantum gases models. These results are a key milestone towards BEC -based space missions aiming for gravimetry, gradiometry, tests of fundamental physics laws or the detection of gravitational waves.
