Abstract

Disclosed herein are a time synchronization method and apparatus for a low-orbit satellite cluster. The time synchronization method for a low-orbit satellite cluster includes: receiving time information from N participating satellites directly connected; calculating a reference time using time information based on a reliability of each of the N participating satellites; performing time synchronization using the reference time and then recording a synchronization history; and generating a new block using the synchronization history.
