''' Standard frequency and time signal-satellite service ''' (short: '''SFTSS''') is, according to ''Article 1.54'' of the [[International Telecommunication Union|International Telecommunication Union's]] (ITU) [[ITU Radio Regulations|Radio Regulations]] (RR),<ref>ITU Radio Regulations, Section IV. Radio Stations and Systems – Article 1.54, definition: ''standard frequency and time signal-satellite service''</ref> defined as ''A radiocommunication service using [[space radio station|space stations]] on earth [[satellite]]s for the same purposes as those of the standard frequency and time signal service''.

An example to this were experiments of time synchronisation (Global Transmission Services GTS-2) onboard International Space Station. However, in accordance to the ubiquitous availability, GNSS-satellite signals will be used in practice (see also: [[GPS disciplined oscillator]]).
