Scientific paper

DURING the summer and autumn of 1970 a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center laser tracking system tracked the Beacon Explorer C spacecraft from the Goddard Optical Facility in Greenbelt, Maryland. The tracking system provided distance measurements to the satellite at a rate of one per second with a precision of 30 to 50 cm on as many as four consecutive passes each day, weather permitting. The satellite, Beacon Explorer C, carries laser retro-reflectors and is in a near circular orbit at an altitude of about 1,000 km with an inclination to the equator of 41°.
