Pretty easy to convert UTC to GPS weeks.  except for that messy 
leap second thing.

GPS time is in weeks plus seconds in the week.  Here is a good overview:

https://confluence.qps.nl/display/KBE/UTC+to+GPS+Time+Correction


"GPS week zero started at 00:00:00 UTC (00:00:19 TAI) on January 6,
1980, and the week number became zero again for the first time at
23:59:47 UTC on August 21, 1999 (00:00:19 TAI on August 22, 1999). "

At the bottom of this page is the math worked out:
