Compensation for the distortion in satellite laser range predictions due to varying pulse travel times
Abstract
A method for compensating for the effect of the varying travel time of a transmitted laser pulse to a satellite is described. The 'observed minus predicted' range differences then appear to be linear, which makes data screening or use in range gating more effective.
