 Coordinated Universal Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Time zones around the world are expressed as positive and negative offsets from UTC.
International standard UTC time can only be determined to the highest precision after the fact, as atomic time is determined by the reconciliation of the observed differences between an ensemble of atomic clocks maintained by a number of national time bureaus.
The UTC time zone is sometimes denoted by the letter Z since the equivalent nautical time zone (GMT) has been denoted by Z since about 1950, and by a "zone description" of zero hours since 1920.

 "KODAMA" Data Relay Test Satellite (DRTS) | NASDA
on Sep. 10 (Japan Standard Time) was maneuvered to go into the drift orbit* whose altitude is approximately the same as the geostationary orbit by firing the apogee engine (the third apogee firing).
The altitude of the satellite after the third firing, however, was lower than expected, thus it was further controlled on the 14th (Sat), and, consequently, "Kodama" was successfully placed into the scheduled orbit.
Direct communication between ground stations and low earth orbit spacecrafts should need several ground stations, but with DRTS placed in a geostationary orbit, approximately 60% of a spacecraft's flight area would become a relay area.
