Abstract
A satellite time synchronization technique has been used for synchronization-of remotely separated clocks during the past several years. The NASA Network has been successfully synchronized to an accuracy of tens of microseconds via the NASA Geodetic Earth Orbiting Satellite GEOS-11. The results indicate that a polor orbit satellite having an on-board clock can effectively be used to synchronize clocks on a global basis.
