Local Geodesy by Satellite Laser Ranging: a European Solution
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 geode-tic network coordinates at the same level. The orbit of the geodetic satellite LAGEOS is decomposed into very short arcs (less than half orb...
متن کاملLunar laser ranging
Lunar laser ranging has provided many of the best tests of gravitation since the first Apollo astronauts landed on the Moon. The march to higher precision continues to this day, now entering the millimeter regime, and promising continued improvement in scientific results. This review introduces key aspects of the technique, details the motivations, observables, and results for a variety of scie...
متن کاملSuper-ranging. A new ranging strategy in European badgers
We monitored the ranging of a wild European badger (Meles meles) population over 7 years using GPS tracking collars. Badger range sizes varied seasonally and reached their maximum in June, July and August. We analysed the summer ranging behaviour, using 83 home range estimates from 48 individuals over 6974 collar-nights. We found that while most adult badgers (males and females) remained within...
متن کاملAPOLLO: Multiplexed Lunar Laser Ranging
The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) is a nextgeneration lunar laser ranging (LLR) campaign aimed at order-of-magnitude improvements in tests of gravitational physics via millimeter range precision. We will employ the 3.5 m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory (APO), located in southern New Mexico at an altitude of 2800 m. As a result of the large aperture si...
متن کاملProspects on measuring intrinsic gravitomagnetism with Lunar Laser Ranging
In this note we explore the possibility of measuring the action of the intrinsic gravitomagnetic field of the rotating Earth on the orbital motion of the Moon with the Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) technique. Indeed, expected improvements in it should push the precision in measuring the Earth-Moon range to the mm level; the present-day Root-Mean-Square (RMS) accuracy in reconstructing the radial co...
