TimeGPS

class astropy.time.TimeGPS(val1, val2, scale, precision, in_subfmt, out_subfmt, from_jd=False)

Bases: astropy.time.TimeFromEpoch

GPS time: seconds from 1980-01-06 00:00:00 UTC For example, 630720013.0 is midnight on January 1, 2000.

Notes

This implementation is strictly a representation of the number of seconds (including leap seconds) since midnight UTC on 1980-01-06. GPS can also be considered as a time scale which is ahead of TAI by a fixed offset (to within about 100 nanoseconds).
