Internal time tagging

Metrological Timekeeping – necessary for Galileo Timing Service

Accurate timescale synchronised to UTC (modulo 1 second)

Implementation of ITU recommendations

UTC(k) and UTCpredicted vs. GST (MC)Early Results

The plot shows daily average of GST(MC) offset to the national real-time realizations of UTC, named

UTC(k). The offset UTC(k)-GST(MC) is measured using TWTFT and GPS CV techniques. The real time

approximation of UTC named UTCapprox is the average of the five UTC(k)’s predicted vs UTC.

Conclusions

The first position fix with Galileo was obtained on the 12 March

2013.

The in-Orbit Validation Campaign of Galileo was initiated in May

2013 and has been completed end of Oct 2013

Almost 1 window of about 2 hours each day during which PVT

calculation based on Galileo-only is possible

IOV results are very satisfactory:

Ranging error < 3 m

GST-UTC offset < 11.77 ns

UTC dissemination accuracy < 12.16 ns

Horizontal, Vertical positioning error < 10 m

Availability and performance will increase as space and ground

segment are completed

The preparation for Early Services has started
