7. Results - Orbital determination by laser ranging to the RIS

Study on orbital prediction using laser ranging to RIS was carried out by NASDA and CRL. Fourteen satellite laser ranging stations in the world participated in laser ranging support. Accuracy of orbital prediction 10 times better than conventional RARR method was obtained.
