Scientific paper

The existing lunar base with reflector arrays can be improved by means of a second Apollo-type retroreflector array with an earth-pointing laser beacon. The laser beacon is proposed to serve as a guidance mechanism to simplify the periodic monitoring of the ground station. The proposed improvement for the lunar laser-ranging program is expected to generate more data of higher quality and to improve the uniformity of data collected during a lunar cycle.
