Estimation of Earth Rotation Parameter UT1 from Lunar Laser Ranging Observations

چکیده

Abstract Since 1969 Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data have been collected by different observatories and analysed various analysis groups. LLR is providing the longest time series of any space geodetic technique for studying Earth-Moon dynamics. In recent years, observations carried out with larger telescopes at infra-red (IR) wavelength, resulting in a better distribution precise over lunar orbit observed retro-reflectors on Moon. The increased number high-accuracy allows more accurate determination Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) from compared to previous years. this study we focus Δ UT1 results constellations compare our solution IERS EOP C04 series.

Constraint on intermediate-range gravity from earth-satellite and lunar orbiter measurements, and lunar laser ranging

In the experimental tests of gravity, there have been considerable interests in the possibility of intermediate-range gravity. In this paper, we use the earth-satellite measurement of earth gravity, the lunar orbiter measurement of lunar gravity, and lunar laser ranging measurement to constrain the intermediate-range gravity from λ = 1.2×10m−3.8×10m. The limits for this range are α = 10−5×10, w...

Lunar laser ranging

Lunar laser ranging has provided many of the best tests of gravitation since the first Apollo astronauts landed on the Moon. The march to higher precision continues to this day, now entering the millimeter regime, and promising continued improvement in scientific results. This review introduces key aspects of the technique, details the motivations, observables, and results for a variety of scie...

APOLLO: Multiplexed Lunar Laser Ranging

The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) is a nextgeneration lunar laser ranging (LLR) campaign aimed at order-of-magnitude improvements in tests of gravitational physics via millimeter range precision. We will employ the 3.5 m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory (APO), located in southern New Mexico at an altitude of 2800 m. As a result of the large aperture si...

Simultaneous laser ranging and communication from an Earth-based satellite laser ranging station to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in lunar orbit

We report a free space laser communication experiment from the satellite laser ranging (SLR) station at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) in lunar orbit through the on board one-way Laser Ranging (LR) receiver. Pseudo random data and sample image files were transmitted to LRO using a 4096-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) signal format. Reed-Sol...

Gravitational Acceleration of Spinning Bodies From Lunar Laser Ranging Measurements

The Sun’s 1/c order gravitational gradient accelerations of Earth and Moon, dependent on the motions of the latter bodies, act upon the system’s internal angular momentum. Not only does this gravitational spin-orbit force (which plays an important part in calculating gravity wave signal templates from astrophysical sources) slightly accelerate the Earth-Moon system as a whole, it more robustly ...
