Methods and means of measuring information exchange among the spacecraft on the laser connection line

Abstract

Abstract The article deals with the methods and means of using the inter-satellite measurements on the laser communication lines for high-precision temporary support of the GLONASS system spacecrafts. There is given the justification of the principles of measuring and exchange information among the spacecrafts via the laser navigation and communication lines for mutual synchronization of the on-board time scales of the GLONASS system spacecrafts.
