Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This paper describes the TIMATION II satellite time transfer experiments between the U. S. Naval Observatory (USNO) and the Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO) in 1972, and between the U. S. and Australia, in 1973. The error in the experiment conducted between the RGO and USNO agreed internally and with external calibrations to within about 0.33 μs. The experiment between the U. S. and Australia agreed internally and externally to approximately 0.1 μs.
