Subject: [SLR-Mail] No.2550: Holiday Greetings from the ILRS GB and CB From: ”Noll, Carey E. (GSFC-61A0)” Author: Carey Noll/ILRS CB The Governing Board and the Central Bureau of the International Laser Ranging Service would like to express our sincere thanks to you for your continued participation in service activities during 2018! We find ourselves at the end of another busy, and successful, year for the ILRS. We approved and supported several new missions and continued our excellent SLR tracking of a large roster of geodetic, Earth sensing, positioning, and engineering satellites. Significant progress has been made in the analysis and modeling area, and some very important improvements are underway in data handling and record keeping. The ILRS also played an essential role in GGOS and in the development of multi-technique data products. Our ILRS community came together just last month for the 21st International Workshop on Laser Ranging, where we had another extraordinary event encompassing science, missions, stations, engineering, and plans for future activities. Our success is due to the hard work and dedication of our members. We thank you all for your continued support of the ILRS and its mission. We look forward to continued cooperation and success in 2019! We extend our best wishes to you and your families during this holiday season and for a healthy, successful, and Happy New Year. Best, Pippo Bianco, Mike Pearlman, and Carey Noll. ----- Ms. Carey Noll Manager, Crustal Dynamics Data Information System (CDDIS) Secretary, ILRS Central Bureau Secretary, GGOS Bureau for Networks and Observations NASA GSFC Code 61A Greenbelt, MD 20771 USA E-mail: Carey.Noll@nasa.gov Voice: (301) 614-6542 Fax: (301) 614-6015 WWW: https://cddis.nasa.gov
