• UTC Time
UTC is an acronym for Coordinated Universal Time, a high-precision atomic time standard that defines local
time throughout the world. Different versions of universal time use atomic clocks to correct for irregularities
in the Earth's rotation and orbit. UTC is used in navigation, astronomy, aviation, Internet broadcasts, and
amateur radio. If you are receiving information from the satellite, then the UTC Time should automatically
update.
