Scientific paper

The Apollo 11, 14, and 15 reflectors form a large triangle on the lunar surface with sides of 1250, 1100, and 970 km. A regular program of lunar laser distance measurements has been carried out since 1969. The accuracy obtained with the calibration system installed in 1971 has been in the range from 8 to 15 cm. An accuracy goal in the range from 2 to 3 cm has been set for a second U.S. lunar ranging station on Maui.
