Optical metrology terminal for satellite-to-satellite laser ranging [PDF]
International Conference on Space Optics — ICSO 2018, 2019 Interferometric laser ranging is an enabling technology for high-precision satellite-to-satellite tracking within the context of earth observation, gravitational wave detection, or formation flying. In orbit, the measurement system is affected by environmental influences, particularly satellite attitude jitter and temperature fluctuations, demanding an

Satellite Laser Ranging in Egypt [PDF]
NRIAG Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics, 2015 AbstractThe paper concerns on the satellite laser ranging (SLR) in Egypt. The three generations which can be loosely defined by their single shot root mean square precision, are discussed. The laser generators used at the Helwan half automatic and full automatic stations are described.

Satellite laser ranging to GPS and GLONASS [PDF]
Journal of Geodesy, 2015 Satellite laser ranging (SLR) to the satellites of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) provides substantial and valuable information about the accuracy and quality of GNSS orbits and allows for the SLR-GNSS colocation in space. In the framework of the NAVSTAR-SLR experiment two GPS satellites of Block-IIA were equipped with laser ...

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.
