This paper is an update of the on-orbit operational performance of the frequency standards on the Block I GPS 8 to 11 Navstar satellites, the Block II GPS 13 to 21 Navstar satellites and the Block IIA GPS 22 to 40 Navstar satellites. A brief history of the frequency standards depicting improvements incorporated in the GPS Program with corresponding results will be presented. The frequency standards configurations from the start to the present, including the various Block IIA clock configurations will be discussed. Topics such as clock observations and long term trending analysis which could enhance on-orbit performance analysis will be covered.
