A fundamental objective of the use of space geodetic techniques is related to the accurate spatial positioning of terrestrial points in a regional to global context. The results have a wide scope of applications, extending from general surveying to the monitoring of crustal movements. The most precise technique for station-to-satellite relative positioning involves ground-based laser ranging to artificial satellites. During the time from 1979 to 1982, a number of numerical experiments was performed on the utilization of laser range measurements of satellites to determine the orbits of these satellites and to estimate the positions of a number of European laser tracking stations. The present paper presents a summary of the principal results from the processing of a limited number of carefully selected multiday arcs of Lageos, Starlette, and GEOS 3 laser data.
