Location
The satellite laser ranging station Simeiz was founded in 1988 by the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Crimea, Ukraine. In 1991 the station was certificated by European Space Agency using mobil SLR station from Munich. The third-generation equipment of the station was mounted. Experimental night passes started in 1988. The routine ranging of night passes of satellites (all low orbit and LAGEOS, GPS, GLONNAS) has been carried out since 1988 at the station. The SLR station Simeiz was included in the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS).
