Abstract

The 8th Meeting of the BZPM Working Group on Two-Way Satellite Time and Frequency Transfer "TWSTFT" took place on October 5-6, 2000. It was hosted by the Time and Frequency Division of the BIPM at Sevres, France. This paper reports on highlights of the meeting as well as covers the latest developments in the area of Two-Way Satellite Time Transfer "TWSTT". The meeting was devoted to an overview of current TWSTFT operations, studies of uncertainties of TWSTFT links, the possible extension of TWSTFT observations to 5 or 7 days per week, calibrations of TWSTFT stations, expansion of TWSTFT links to the Pacific Rim region including links with Europe and North America, and the introduction of further TWSTFT links into TAI.
