Lunar Laser Ranging Contributions to Relativity and Geodesy [PDF]
Lunar laser ranging (LLR) is used to conduct high-precision measurements of ranges between an observatory on Earth and a laser retro-reflector on the lunar surface. Over the years, LLR has benefited from a number of improvements both in observing technology and data modeling, which led to the current accuracy of post-fit residuals of ~2 cm.

A rotational ellipsoid model for solid Earth tide with high precision [PDF]
Solid Earth tide represents the response of solid Earth to the lunar (solar) gravitational force. The yielding solid Earth due to the force has been thought to be a prolate ellipsoid since the time of Lord Kelvin, yet the ellipsoid’s geometry such as ...

A Small Geodesy Surface Package for Future Lunar Robotic Missions
We propose to deploy small (2-3 kg) Lunar geodesy packages on the Moon's surface, consisting of an optical Laser receiver, a small retroreflector, as well as a radio beacon.

A Robust Model Fitting-based Method for Transmission Line Extraction from Airborne LiDAR Point Cloud Data [PDF]
Airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) can provide high-quality three-dimensional information for the safety inspection of electricity corridors. However, the robust extraction of transmission lines from airborne point cloud data is still greatly ...

Open spatial data for the exploration of territories and digital services for accessing them
«Open Data» concept is presented considering its application for wide public access to spatial data. It is shown that some principles of the «Open Data» may not be applicable to spatial data due to their peculiarities.
