Cooperative Laser Ranging Research Program
Abstract
A lunar laser ranging facility was established at Orroral Valley, Australia by the Australian Division of National Mapping with the assistance of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory with equipment obtained from the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory. Range measurements to lunar reflectors are made from this facility regularly. Some equipment problems must still be overcome before this observatory becomes fully operational.
