Package org.orekit.time

Class GalileoScale

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.time.ConstantOffsetTimeScale

org.orekit.time.GalileoScale

All Implemented Interfaces:

TimeScale

public class GalileoScale
extends ConstantOffsetTimeScale

Galileo system time scale.

By convention, TGST = UTC + 13s at Galileo epoch (1999-08-22T00:00:00Z).

This is intended to be accessed thanks to TimeScales, so there is no public constructor.

Galileo System Time and GPS time are very close scales. Without any errors, they should be identical. The offset between these two scales is the GGTO, it depends on the clocks used to realize the time scales. It is of the order of a few tens nanoseconds. This class does not implement this offset, so it is virtually identical to the GPS scale.
