The session had many interesting posters indicating the progress
of SLR systems towards better quality and quantity of measurements.
The session can be divided into four major groups;
- quality upgrading,
- quantity upgrading,
- projects of new stations or significant station
improvement and
- new activities.
Quality upgrading and performance:
- Changchun (Y. Zhao) - new
calibration, receiving system, timing system, servo system and
encoder electronics, software; leading to significantly better
precision, accuracy and quantity of results
- FTLRS (M. Pierron) - tested and calibrated
Stanford SR620 in laboratory with respect to "Dassault event
timer" as a reference, resulting in better quality
- TROS-1 (G. Tangyong) - activity in Beijing,
Urumqi and Lhasa, good quality and quantity of results
- Borowiec
(S. Schillak) - new electronics,
better precision and accuracy
Quantity upgrading:
- Changchun (Y. Zhao) - daylight tracking
project, system stability improvement, laser stability
improvement, mount model adoption, control system, daylight
tracking soon
- San Fernando (J. Garate) - project
for daylight tracking and high satellite ranging, need to
overcome problems, e.g. how to improve accurate control of the
telescope horizontal movement
- Kunming (Z. Xiangming) - system upgrades
to enable low satellites tracking
Projects of new stations
or significant station improvement:
- new China station in San Juan (Argentina) (T.
Wang) - first results, timetable
- Herstmonceux (P. Gibbs) - event timer,
kHz laser, absolute gravimeter
- Russia (V. Vasiliev) - new SLR
station network in Russia
- Riyadh (J. Guilfoyle) - significantly
better quantity and quality data
New activities:
- local tie in Mountt Stromlo (J. Luck) - before
and after fire
- optical Doppler (J.L. Oneto) - support
for quality of SLR systems?
- Baker Nunn camera for new astrometry tasks (F.J.
Montojo)
To summarize, the session presented significant upgrading of
five stations, projects concerning daylight and high altitude satellite
tracking as well as the future plans for installation of a
network of new stations in Russia and Argentina. Realization of
these tasks is a good way toward millimeter accuracy and to efficiency
improvements within the SLR network. |
