Sentence examples for clock on board from inspiring English sources

The OGS's beacon signal is pulsed to facilitate clock synchronization, and the detection pulses from the fast photo diode (along with GPS signals) are used to discipline the local clock on board the CubeSat.

However, to a stationary observer watching the spaceship fly by, the spaceship appears flattened in the direction it is traveling and the clock on board the spaceship appears to move very slowly.

Because of the velocity with which the satellites orbit the earth and the weaker gravitational field that they move through, the atomic clocks on board the GPS satellites advance faster than comparable clocks on the ground.

In this case, however, it is the purely kinematic effect on the rate of clocks on board the satellites (i.e., time dilation) that is important rather than the dynamic effects of relativity on the motion of the satellites themselves.

On the westward journey, flying against the Earth's rotation, the plane (and the clocks on board) were moving more slowly relative to the Earth's core than the American capital, so time was passing more languorously at the relatively faster-moving Observatory than in the air.

The Global Positioning System constellation of navigation satellites contains several atomic clocks on board each satellite.

A method for monitoring atomic clocks on board Global Navigation Satellites System (GNSS) satellites is described to address the issue of clock related signal integrity in safety critical applications of GNSS.

The Rb clocks on board of GPS IIF satellites have the smallest degradation rate of less than 3 cm over 10 min while the Cs clocks on board of GPS IIF have the largest degradation rate of more than 10 cm over 10 min.

It not only displays your location and heading, but also the precise time, courtesy of the atomic clocks on board the GPS satellites, your rate of speed and distance traveled, the name of the road you're on, and the names of some surrounding streets and landmarks.

The system uses the ultra-stable quartz oscillator of DORIS as on-board reference clock on one hand, and the Laser Reflector Array, making T2L2 a real two-way time transfer system on the other hand.
