Abstract

AbstractThe Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) technique has been used to determine Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) for over twenty years. Most of results contributed to the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) are based on analysis of observations of Lageos 1 & 2 satellites collected by the global tracking network of about 40 stations. Now five analysis centers submit operational (with 2–15 days delay) solutions and about ten analysis centers contribute yearly final (up to 23 years) ERP series. Some statistics related to SLR observations and analysis are presented and analyzed. Possible problems in SLR observations and analysis and ways of its solution are discussed.
