Scientific paper

The LASSO experiment, to provide intercontinental synchronization of clocks with nanosecond accuracy or better, is projected for launch aboard the Meteosat P2 spacecraft in 1987. The experiment is based on laser stations (the ground segment) emitting monochromatic light impulses at predefined times, which are directed towards the geosynchronous spacecraft. Laser stations will be connected to atomic clocks to provide a time reference for the laser triggers and time-tagging units. The LASSO communciations system is based on ESA's Data Dissemination System. The operational organization is briefly described.
