# TimeGPS

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

  Bases: `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).

  Methods Documentation

  mask_if_needed(value)
  set_jds(val1, val2)

    Initialize the internal jd1 and jd2 attributes given val1 and val2. For an TimeFromEpoch subclass like TimeUnix these will be floats giving the effective seconds since an epoch time (e.g. 1970-01-01 00:00:00).

  to_value(parent=None, **kwargs)

    Return time representation from internal jd1 and jd2. Subclasses that require `parent` or to adjust the jds should override this method.
