The use of tracking data from the SIRIO 2 Laser Synchronization from Stationary Orbit experiment for high precision determination of a geostationary orbit is proposed. Data of decimeter or subdecimeter accuracy collected for the basic mission can be used to investigate polar motion to determine gravity coefficients for ionospheric calibration for precise orbit determination comparison with radio tracking and to calibrate the VHF ranging network used for ESA geostationary missions. Additional ranging operations to supplement routine VHF checks are needed.
