ION is pleased to announce a joint ITM/PTTI tutorial session on Wednesday, January 26, 2022. The day-long series of tutorial talks will bring together a group of international experts from government, academia, and industry on the topics of clocks and time transfer from space. Topics will range from system-level discussions of time dissemination from space to technical overviews of novel atomic clocks, clock state estimation, and optical time transfer.

Tutorials will be open to all PTTI and ITM attendees.
