Assessment of the Possible Use of Modelling of the LD-2 Satellite Rangefinder to Locate Geodynamic Artificial Earth Satellites

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper explores possible ways of modernizing satellite laser rangefinders that have accuracy characteristics not in line with present-day satellite geodesy requirements and tasks. A brief description is given of the work done to modernize the LD-2 satellite rangefinder. The measurement accuracy with the updated LD-2 rangefinder to find the distance to the Starlett and LAGEOS satellites is evaluated.
