NASA’s proposed LTC time zone is “a system that, while independent, maintains traceability to Earth’s Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to facilitate seamless time conversion,” says Julian ...

Missions to the Moon currently communicate with team members on Earth using coordinated universal time (UTC) as a common temporal language. UTC’s timing is tied to an ensemble of atomic clocks.

Because astronomers have divided the globe into 24 time zones, using one clock time worldwide is impractical. That’s why the times of astronomical events are often given in Universal Time (UT ...

On Earth, most clocks and time zones are based on Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC. This internationally recognized standard relies on a vast global network of atomic clocks placed in different ...

Similar to Earth's Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the lunar time will be calculated using a weighted average of atomic clocks placed on the Moon. However, establishing LTC isn't without its ...

Most time zones down here on Earth are based on the universally recognized Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). A network of atomic clocks in different locations around the globe measures changes in ...

Corporations such as Google and Meta, which maintain systems based on extremely precise timekeeping, have asked for the suspension. ByJohn Wheeler November 21, 2022 09:18 PM ...
