Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data of a global net of sites

Entry ID: GFZ-SLR

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: These data represent normal points and partly full rate data of
distances from 10 to 30 global distributed sites to the
different laser satellites beginning with the launch date. The
data density for the different satellites is changing according
to the priorities of observations agreed to in the framework of
international programmes.
