Abstract
In this paper we report the realization of a CPT Rb maser clock. This study is devoted to test the stability performances of this new clock, having in mind the requirements of the Galileo navigation system. In the paper the project choices will be discussed, with regard to the physical package and the electronic and optical system. In the last section first experimental data are reported.
