Abstract :
The paper presents the results obtained on common-view time transfer measurements using the TV satellite TDF2 between four French laboratories. Different methods have been used to eliminate the influence of the satellite residual motion with a final precision that can reach 10 ns. The accuracy has been assessed using an orbit provided by the CNES, that also tested orbit restitution based on the time measurements.<>
