Hi Ken, well...
In the past there were both 2 caesium and 2 rubidium clocks on board, according to this paper: http://www.insidegnss.com/auto/Sept06GNSS_Solutions_secure.pdf GPS satellites used to carry two caesium and two rubidium atomic standards on board. Subsequently, GPS switched to all rubidium clocks. Galileo plans to use hydrogen masers instead. 73, Peter - PA0PJE Op 28-11-14 om 22:43 schreef Ken G Kopp:
An alert reader has caught my error in naming the type of standard used in the GPS satellites. It's indee "rubidium" and not "cesium". 73 Ken - K0PP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
