Jim -
I am not an expert in satellite technology but I know how it works for the GSP system. The satellites have a 1024-deep counter (10 bits) which counts weeks. It is an arbitrary number which has no notion of years, let alone centuries. It is up to any ground systems which use the GSP to do whatever date management is needed. This system clearly has no Y2K problems - at least in the satellites.
