The ability to measure, hold and distribute time with high precision and accuracy is a foundational capability for scientific exploration. Beyond fundamental science, time synchronisation is an indispensable feature of public and private communication, navigation and ranging, and distributed sensing, amongst others technological applications. We propose the implementation of a quantum network of satellite- and ground-based clocks with the ability to implement Quantum Clock Synchronization to picosecond accuracy.
