Subject: [SLR-Mail] No.2805: 2023 Virtual International Workshop on Laser Ranging (IWLR) From: Carabajal, Claudia C. (GSFC-61A.0)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS INC] Dear ILRS colleagues, The 2023 Virtual International Workshop on Laser Ranging will take place during the week of October 16th-20th, 2023. This year, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are not able to hold the Specialized International Workshop on Laser Raging in Arequipa, Peru as planned. However, we do think it will be advantageous to give the community an opportunity to get together to discuss updates on pertinent topics, and exchange ideas. Sessions are being organized primarily around invited talks, but presentations on new concepts and new technologies are welcome. On this Workshop, we will focus on new materials and new results. Program Organizing Committee: Michael Pearlman, ILRS Central Bureau Director Claudia Carabajal, ILRS Central Bureau Secretary Matt Wilkinson, Networks and Engineering Standing Committee Co-Chair José Rodriguez, Missions Standing Committee Chair Robert Sherwood, Missions Standing Committee Co-Chair Michael Steindorfer, Space Debris Study Group Chair Clément Courde, LLR and Transponders Standing Committee Chair Nicholas Colmenares, LLR and Transponders Standing Committee Stephen Merkowitz, LLR and Transponders Standing Committee Mathis Blossfeld, Analysis Standing Committee Co-Chair David Sarrocco, Analysis Standing Committee Frank Lemoine, NASA ILRS Central Bureau Jeff Dorman, NASA Networks Manager Program topics will include: * Science & Applications * New technology/Systems, Barometers, automation, safety, etc. * Operations * Analysis, including available analysis tools, error modeling, etc. * Space Debris * Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) There are no registration fees. Participants interested in presenting should register by September 22nd, 2023. Non-Presenters Registrations will be accepted until October 6th, 2023. Details on the Program will be published at a later date, as the sessions are being organized. Invitations for the Virtual Sessions using Microsoft Teams will be sent to registrants. Attached is the announcement and Registration Form. Registrations should be sent to Claudia.C.Carabajal@nasa.gov Please include a Title and Abstract (less than 500 characters) if you would like to present on recent topics. We look forward to your participation. Regards, Mike Pearlman, Director ILRS Central Bureau Claudia Carabajal, Secretary ILRS Central Bureau -- Claudia C.
