Goals of Laser Time Transfer (LTT)
· Evaluate the performance of the space rubidium clocks with respective to the ground hydrogen maser, dedicated for the Compass system · Testing of the Relativity theory


LTT Payloads onboard Chinese Navigation satellites
April 13, 2007 The first LTT payload onboard the COMPASSMEO (altitude 21500km) was launched, and LTT experiment started. Aug 1, 2010 The second new LTT payload onboard the COMPASS-IGSO1(altitude 36,000km) was launched, and obtained the LTT data at the first attempt April 10, 2011 The third LTT payload onboard COMPASS-IGSO3 was launched April 30, 2012 The fourth LTT payload onboard COMPASSMEO3 was launched (altitude 21500km)

Results of LTT Experiment (Compass-MEO3)


Summary
Some improvements were made for new LTT Detector , such as gate mode increased , two different FOV used, etc. LTT experiment on Compass MEO3 was successful carried out at the precision of better than 300ps. The frequency drift and stability are about 2.447E-11 and 4.749E-14 respectively. The LTT design improvement makes the noise much lower, the detection rate much bigger, and the experiment much efficiency. Through LTT between satellite and ground, time synchronization for different stations on ground in the Chinese regions or beyond China will be carried out in the future.
