The 23rd General Assembly of the ILRS and meetings of the ILRS Governing = Board and the respective Working Groups of the ILRS will be held during = the week of the workshop. A trip to the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell = and an introduction to the TWIN VLBI project is also in preparation. Workshop Goals: The growing number of satellites requesting SLR support, the new = successful One-Way laser ranging missions and the recent progress in = optical Time Transfer have added much to the importance of the laser = ranging technique. At the same time new satellite missions like GOCE = provide a wealth of new observations for better models of the Earth = gravity field, the reference system and their dynamics. On the other = hand the diversity and complexity of the laser ranging facilities have = substantially increased. This workshop will facilitate presentations and = discussions of the latest develop ments and results of the research and = the laser ranging techniques. Suggested Program Topics: - Scientific Achievements, Applications, and Future Requirements - Laser Technology - Ranging Receivers - Automation and Control Systems - Improved and Upgraded Systems (poster) - Lunar Laser Ranging - Engineering and Q/C Analysis - System Calibration Techniques - Targets, Signatures and Biases - Atmospheric Correction and Multiwavelength Ranging - Advanced Systems and Techniques - Transponder, Laser Altimetry and Time Transfer Techniques - Operational Issues Furthermore we encourage everyone to propose additional sessions or = presentations on other timely laser ranging matters. Important Dates: - Abstract Deadline: March 31, 2011 Additional information on the workshop, the hotel, the area, the venue, = etc. can be found at the following web page:=20 = http://www.fs.wettzell.de/veranstaltungen/slr/17thlaserworkshop/index.html= Further questions should be addressed to=20 17workshop@fs.wettzell.de or via fax to ”17 workshop-laser” (+49 9941 603222).
