satellite time/onboard time

I guess 'Bordzeit' here refers to the local time on-board the satellite. Satellites as far as I know generally use Greenwich Mean Time (Universal Time, Zulu Time) to keep track of their onboard time, so you might want to use that.

disagree Ulrike Lieder (X) : That term would, at least IMHO, apply to a cruise ship or an aircraft rather than to satellite data.
