The 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. Preliminary tests with the breadboard receiver at NBS produced precision in time and frequency transfer between the United States Naval Observatory (USNO) and NBS. JPL's 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 are discussed.
