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 a very challenging year.

We find ourselves at the end of a confusing, but busy, and

rather successful, year for the ILRS. We were able to support

our science despite a global pandemic. 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 areas, with the analysis centers making

great progress in their submission to ITRF2020. We continued to

work on research into understanding system biases and other issues

in our data. Our ILRS community came together in November for a

very successful virtual workshop touring five of our SLR stations.

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 2021!

We extend our best wishes to you and your families during this

holiday season and for a healthy, successful, and Happy New

Year.

Best,

Toshi, Mike, and Carey.
