  Ultracold quantum gases are ideal sources for high-precision space-borne
sensing as proposed for Earth observation, relativistic geodesy and tests of
fundamental physical laws as well as for studying new phenomena in many-body
physics extended free fall. By performing experiments with the Cold Atom Lab
aboard the International Space Station, we have achieved exquisite control over
the quantum state of single Bose-Einstein condensates paving the way for future
high-precision measurements. In particular, we have applied fast transport
protocols to shuttle the atomic cloud over a millimeter distance with
sub-micrometer accuracy and subsequently drastically reduced the total
expansion energy to below 100 pK with matterwave lensing techniques.
