Design and observations of satellite laser ranging system for daylight tracking at Shanghai Observatory

open access: yesScience in China Series A: Mathematics, 1999
The first satellite laser ranging system for daylight tracking in China was set up at Shanghai Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Both false alarm probability due to strong background noises and detection probability of the laser returns with ...

Satellite laser ranging to low Earth orbiters: orbit and network validation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geodesy, 2018
Satellite laser ranging (SLR) to low Earth orbiters (LEOs) provides optical distance measurements with mm-to-cm-level precision. SLR residuals, i.e., differences between measured and modeled ranges, serve as a common figure of merit for the quality ...

Satellite Laser Ranging and its Applications

Celestial Mechanics, 1985
Satellite laser ranging (SLR) provides an important capability for precise orbit determination and for geophysical parameter estimation to support a number of contemporary geodynamic and oceanographic investigations. The precision of the SLR measurement has improved from the early meter-level systems to the current capabilities of a few centimeters for

Satellite Laser Ranging

2015
Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) is currently the unique technique to determine station coordinates, Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) and Stokes coefficients of the Earth’s gravity field from one observation equation with a high accuracy. These parameters form the so-called ‘three pillars’ (Plag and Pearlman, 2009) of the Global Geodetic Observing ...

Korea's first satellite for satellite laser ranging

Acta Astronautica, 2005
Abstract Science Technology Satellite-2 (STSAT-2) has been developed since October 2002 as a sequel mission to KAISTSAT-4 (STSAT-1). STSAT-2 is scheduled to be launched into an ellipsoidal orbit of 300 km × 1500 km in December 2005 by the first Korea Satellite Launch Vehicle KSLV-1.

Corrections for atmospheric refractivity in satellite laser ranging

Applied Optics, 1977
The range correction calculated from ground-level meteorological measurements is shown to consist of a series of terms. The zeroth order term of this series corresponds to the correction obtained under the assumption of a spherically symmetric refractivity profile.

Satellite Laser Ranging

2010
Determining the range to a satellite in orbit around the earth utilising the technique of satellite laser ranging (SLR) was pioneered in the early 1960s. The first successful ranging experiment was reported in the 3 December 1964 issue of Flight International (Smith 1964). Dr. Henry H. Plotkin of Goddard Space Flight Centre led a NASA team to track the

Local geodesy by satellite laser ranging: a European solution

manuscripta geodaetica, 1995
Errors in the modelling the satellite orbit have so far limited the accuracy in the processing of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data. A new method is proposed to achieve a residual size consistent with the observational errors, and a stability of the geodetic network coordinates at the same level.

Optical Metrology Terminal for Satellite-to-Satellite Laser Ranging

2022
Interferometric laser ranging is a powerful enabling technology for high-precision satellite-to-satellite tracking within the context of Earth observation, gravitational wave detection, and formation flying. Since the launch of the gravity field mission GRACE Follow-On in 2018, the onboard Laser Ranging Interferometer has successfully been operating as
