This report reviews the scientific horizons from satellite tracking. The papers are the results of weekly seminar sessions in the summer of 1966 and were timely for several reasons. First, important milestones, such as the Smithsonian Standard Earth, had recently been achieved. Second, newly developed tracking techniques offered greater observational accuracy. Third, beacause SAO obtained a new digital computer in autumn 1966, most programs had to be rewritten, which offered a convenient chance to broadon capabilities and flexibility. Fourth, expanding national and international programs in related fields were generating new interfaces with the SAO scientific efforts. The papers presented were: (1) Scientific Horizons from Tracking Space Objects, by C. A. Lundquist; (2) Estimation of Scientific Parameters, by H. D. Friedman; (3) Satellite Tracking with a Laser, by C. G. Lehr; (4) The Effect of the Atmosphere on Laser Range Determination, by H. G. Horak; (5) Present and Future Research on the Upper Atmosphere at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, by L. G. Jacchia; (6) Continental Drift, by U. B. Marvin; (7) Some Geophysical Implications of the Satellite Geopotential, by C. -Y. Wang; (8) Determination of Love's Number from Satellite Observations, by Y. Kozai; (9) Relativistic Investigations, by B. G. Marsden and J. P. Wright; (10) The Motion of the Spin Axis and the Rotation of the Earth, by G. Veis; (11) Review of the Rotation of the Earth, by E. M. Gasposchkin; (12) Introduction to the Theory of the Earth's Motion about Its Center of Mass, by G. Colombo; (13) Interface with Oceanography, by W. J. Köhnlein (14) Differential Orbit Improvement Program for Lunar Orbiters, by G. Veis; (15) The Force Function on a Lunar Satellite due to the Oblateness of the Moon, by S. E.
