We consider the temporal logic with since and until modalities. This temporal logic is expressively equivalent over the class of ordinals to first-order logic thanks to Kamp's theorem. We show that it has a pspace-complete satisfiability problem over the class of ordinals. Among the consequences of our proof, we show that given the code of some countable ordinal α and a formula, we can decide in pspace whether the formula has a model over α. In order to show these results, we introduce a class of simple ordinal automata, as expressive as Büchi ordinal automata. The pspace upper bound for the satisfiability problem of the temporal logic is obtained through a reduction to the nonemptiness problem for the simple ordinal automata.
