Ranging performance of satellite laser altimeters [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1992 Topographic mapping of the Earth, Moon, and planets can be accomplished with high resolution and accuracy using satellite laser altimeters. These systems employ nanosecond laser pulses and microradian beam divergences to achieve submetre vertical range resolution from orbital altitudes of several hundred kilometres.

Satellite Laser-Ranging as a Probe of Fundamental Physics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractSatellite laser-ranging is successfully used in space geodesy, geodynamics and Earth sciences; and to test fundamental physics and specific features of General Relativity. We present a confirmation to approximately one part in a billion of the fundamental weak equivalence principle (“uniqueness of free fall”) in the Earth’s gravitational field,
