Abstract
A method is developed to study the stability of a two-way satellite time and frequency transfer (TWSTFT) system during regular operations. Four or more Earth stations simultaneously determine the range of the geostationary satellite. The redundant information obtained from the over determination of the satellite´s position is used to estimate the delay stability of individual TWSTFT links
