Abstract:	During May through September 1978 a six nation cooperative experiment was performed to intercompare time standards of major laboratories at the submicrosecond level using NTS satellites. NTS time transfer receivers, which were developed for use with the NTS series of satellites were installed at the Division of National Mapping (DNM), Australia; National Research Council (NRC), Canada; Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO), England; Bureau International de l'Heure, France (BIH); Institute for Applied Geodesy (IFAG), West Germany, and in the U.S. at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Bureau of Standards (NBS), Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the Naval Observatory (USNO). The results of the clock intercomparisons will be presented.
