  BOOST (BOOst Symmetry Test) is a proposed satellite mission to search for
violations of Lorentz invariance by comparing two optical frequency references.
One is based on a long-term stable optical resonator and the other on a
hyperfine transition in molecular iodine. This mission will allow to determine
several parameters of the standard model extension in the electron sector up to
two orders of magnitude better than with the current best experiments. Here, we
will give an overview of the mission, the science case and the payload.
