Abstract :
We have built and begun characterization of an engineering prototype rubidium atomic fountain at the USNO for use in its clock ensemble. We achieve short-term stability of 1.4times10-13/taufrac12, which meets the desired performance for characterizing maser drift. We discuss the design, operation, and preliminary characterization of this device
