1. (astronautics) The clocktime displayed by a clock carried on board a spacecraft.
   • 1967, Boeing Company, Lunar Orbiter I - Photography, page 83:

     The spacecraft clock time at the moment of exposure was recorded on the spacecraft film with a timing light.

   • 1975, United States, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (contributor), NASA Technical Note, page 11:

     The error in the spacecraft clock time is directly proportional to the spacecraft clock period, and this error can be reduced by lowering the period of the spacecraft clock.

   • 1978, Computer Sciences Corporation. Attitude Systems Operation, James Richard Wertz (editor), Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control, page 315:

     For example, if the attached time is invalid but the spacecraft clock reading is valid and a known attached time corresponds to a known spacecraft clock reading, a current attached time may be computed on the basis of the current spacecraft clock time.
