摘要：

In this article, the interest of space environment for cold atoms is outlined. After a brief review of cooling techniques and Bose-Einstein condensation, the case of atomic clocks in microgravity is discussed. The scientific objectives of the European mission ACES are presented. ACES will fly onboard the international space station in 2005-2006.
