As part of the European GNSS Galileo project and in particular of the Galileo Mission Segment (GMS), the Precise Timing Facility has started C/D/E1 phase under the conduction of the Consorzio Torino Time (CTT). The PTF is in charge of the generation of the Galileo System Time with full unmanned operations remotely controlled by the the Galileo Asset Control Facility. It works in cooperation with an entity external to GMS, the Time Service Provider but is capable of full autonomous generation of GST in lack of the TSP. This paper presents key issues of the PTF technology and performance. It reflect the author’s view, without obligation of GMS, GaIn and ESA customers. |
