Abstract :
Consorzio Torino Time (CTT) is conducting the C / D / El phase for the implementation of the Precise Timing Facility (PTF) Element, part of the Galileo Mission Segment. The PTF is in charge to generate the Galileo System Time, the physical time reference of Galileo. The PTF detailed design phase is on-going, based on the experience acquired by CTT in the Galileo System Test Bed -VI (GSTB-V1). The paper presents the PTF overview, its architecture and the design status of the software, algorithms and hardware.
