Laser Predictions of Geos 1 and Geos 2.

Abstract

The report documents the work performed by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in supplying laser predictions for the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. An average of 3500 predictions per week was generated for satellites Geos 1 and Geos 2 for a site at L. G. Hanscom Field, Bedford, Mass.
