Abstract

Accurate synchronised time is key for many Earth- and space-based services: telecomms, Earth observation data, bank systems...

Currently, the primary source of this time data comes from GPS. BUT, the past years have shown GPS’ vulnerability to space weather and attacks which disrupt the use of GPS services.

Thus, as the number of satellites launched keeps on increasing, eyes are now turning to new technology to enable satellites to reach a distributed, energy-efficient, and robust time synchronisation.
