The fifth edition of this textbook has been completely revised and significantly extended in
order to reflect the revolution of geodetic technologies, methods and applications during the …

Satellite laser ranging (SLR) to low Earth orbiters (LEOs) provides optical distance
measurements with mm-to-cm-level precision. SLR residuals, ie, differences between …

ESA's Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) orbited the Earth
between 2009 and 2013 for the determination of the static part of Earth's gravity field. The …

The GENESIS mission prepared for launch in 2027 integrates the four space-geodetic
techniques on a single spaceborne platform in medium Earth orbit. With its unique …

Generally, the dynamical model is used to estimate coordinates of satellite laser ranging
(SLR) stations. In this paper, we put forward a kinematic method to estimate the coordinates …

In the last decade, we have been witnessing a rapid development of the constellations of
Global and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS/RNSS). Besides the well-known …

In this thesis, laser ranging observations to satellites (SLR) are used to study correlations of
fundamental geodetic parameters such as station coordinates, Earth orientation parameters …

This study aims to evaluate and analyze the orbit predictions of selected satellites: geodetic,
Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS), and scientific low-orbiting, which are tracked …

The lunar laser ranging (LLR) technique is based on the two-way time-of-flight of laser
pulses from an earth station to the retroreflectors that are located on the surface of the moon …

Abstract Time transfer by Laser Ranging (LR) recently demonstrated a remarkable stability
(a few ps over∼ 1000 s) and accuracy (< 1 ns) in synchronizing both space and ground …
