The satellite signature effect is a persistent source of systematic error in current laser ranging technology. Even for the primary geodetic satellites there remain few-mm-level uncertainties in the appropriate centre-of-mass corrections for the different tracking systems and return-energy regimes. Therefore, laser station teams, optical engineers and analysts need to collaborate in order to realise for all the ILRS-supported space missions the true mm-level potential of the raw laser-range measurements. We would like you to contribute to this session if your work is related to: - target/system-dependent range correction to SLR measurements; - optical response of a reflector / a reflector array; - optical design and ideas for future missions; - (and any related topics) Please email the title and abstract to us: Graham Appleby (graham.appleby@nerc.ac.uk) Toshimichi Otsubo (t.otsubo@srv.cc.hit-u.ac.jp) and also to the Head of the Local Organizing Committee: Stanislaw Schillak (sch@cbk.poznan.pl) by 10 September 2008. We look forward to seeing you in Poznan, Graham and Toshi -- This message (and any attachments) is for the recipient only.
