When space missions involve ground stations and astronauts across multiple locations, using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) becomes essential. Agencies like NASA and ESA must synchronize launch windows, orbital maneuvers, and scientific experiments down to the second. This uniform reference eliminates confusion between mission control centers spread across different continents. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station, for instance, live on UTC to align with a 24-hour cycle that simplifies coordination. Mastering UTC is thus fundamental for executing precise, time-critical operations beyond Earth.
