Space object identification via polarimetric satellite laser ranging [PDF]

Commun Eng, 2022
Low Earth orbits are becoming congested. The rapid identification and precise orbit determination of space objects is mandatory for space management. Satellite laser ranging (SLR) enables precise orbit determination by measuring the two-way photon travel

Tropospheric and range biases in Satellite Laser Ranging [PDF]

Journal of Geodesy, 2021
AbstractThe Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) technique provides very accurate distance measurements to artificial Earth satellites. SLR is employed for the realization of the origin and the scale of the terrestrial reference frame. Despite the high precision, SLR observations can be affected by various systematic errors.

100 kHz satellite laser ranging demonstration at Matera Laser Ranging Observatory [PDF]

Journal of Geodesy, 2021
AbstractThe new challenges related to the monitoring of Earth’s shape and motion have led the global geodetic observing system to set more stringent requirements on the precision and stability of the terrestrial reference frame (TRF). The achievement of this ambitious goal depends on the improvement of space geodesy techniques, satellite laser ranging (

Satellite laser ranging at ultra-high PRF of hundreds of kilohertz all day

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
Satellite laser ranging (SLR) had been operated at a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from ∼10 Hz to 10 kHz; the ultra-high PRF of SLR (UH-SLR) is a trend of development.

Orbit Determination of High-Earth-Orbit Satellites by Satellite Laser Ranging [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017
This study presents the application of satellite laser ranging (SLR) to orbit determination (OD) of high-Earth-orbit (HEO) satellites. Two HEO satellites are considered: the Quasi-Zenith Satellite-1 (QZS-1), a Japanese elliptical-inclinedgeosynchronous ...
