LASSO Experiment Intercalibration Trip for the Two LASSO Ranging Stations

Abstract

In order to achieve the accuracy of the LASSO time transfer between OCA, Grasse, France and McDonald Observatory, Texas, USA, an intercalibration of the two Laser Ranging Stations was made. At the same stations, GPS receivers were set up and the GPS to Laser epoch differences were also monitored. In addition to the principle and the results of the measurements, the cause of the difficulties met during the campaign will be described.
