    6 GNSS Satellite Navigation 6 GNSS Satellite Navigation The GNS satellite receiver clock is designed to provide users with a high-precision time & frequency reference. This system, which can draw information from the satellites of the Russian GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System), American GPS (Global Positioning System), European Galileo, and Chinese BeiDou sys- tems, is defined by its high precision and the ability to use it at any time, anywhere in the world.

  • Page 38: Time Zones And Daylight Saving Time

    6.1 Time Zones and Daylight Saving Time GPS System Time is a linear timescale that was synchronized with the international UTC timescale (Coor- dinated Universal Time) when the satellite system became operational in 1980. Since it has entered service, however, several leap seconds have been introduced to the UTC timescale to adjust UTC time to irregularities in the Earth’s rotation.
