Using SpaceWire Time Codes for Spacecraft Time Synchronization

This paper describes how SpaceWire Time Codes can be used for synchronizing time within various subsystems of a spacecraft as well as, maintaining a common time reference needed for coordinating operations within a spacecraft. The algorithms to account for inaccuracies in the time distribution method were based on the NASA-4009 Space Telecommunication Radio System (STRS) standard [1], which defined an interface for synchronizing clocks running at different tick rates and tick resolutions.

NASA Propagation Studies Website

This paper describes an Internet website which provides information to enable the development of new commerical satellite systems and services by providing timely data and models about the propagation of satellite radio signals. In partnership with industry and academia, the program leverages NASA assets, currently the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS), to obtain propagation data. The findings of the study are disseminated through refereed journals, NASA reference publications, workshops, electronic media, and direct interface with industry.

NASA Propagation Studies Website

The NASA propagation studies objective is to enable the development of new commercial satellite communication systems and services by providing timely data and models about propagation of satellite radio signals through the intervening environment and to support NASA missions. In partnership with industry and academia, the program leverages unique NASA assets (currently Advanced Communications Technology Satellite) to obtain propagation data. The findings of the study are disseminated through referred journals, NASA reference publications, workshops, electronic media, and direct interface with industry.
