Lasers and satellites: A geodetic application
Abstract Experiments photographing satellite reflected laser pulses have been made to demonstrate the feasibility of using an earth-based light source to illuminate satellites. The reflection was also recorded photoelectrically for range information. The reflections are photographed against stellar backgrounds from which the angular positions of the satellites relative to the laser site can be determined. With the angular information and the range data from the laser-illuminator, the position of the satellite in space is uniquely determined. When other widely separated laser-camera sites make simultaneous observations, the location of these sites relative to the “control” site can be found.
