The Kyiv satellite laser ranging station of the
Main Astronomical Observatory
of Ukraine was founded in 1985. The second generation equipment of the station was mounted in 1985. Due to some
reasons the station was not in operation up to 1996. A new team of researches and engineers was
organized in 1996 to put the station into the experimental operation. The experimental ranging
of the satellites was started on May 1, 1997. The routine ranging of night passes has been carring
out since January 2000, and results have been sending to the Eurolas Data Center at DGFI. |
