Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide navigation system using a constellation of earth satellites with onboard clocks. The GPS is also usable to transfer time and frequency. JPL has provided part of the funding to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) to build GPS timing receivers. Preliminary tests with the breadboard receiver at NBS has produced remarkable precision in time and frequency transfer between the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) and NBS. JPL plans to install receivers in the DSN to demonstrate their ability to transfer time and frequency within the DSN and between the DSN and outside agencies.
