Design and Development of High-Repetition-Rate Satellite Laser Ranging System
The Accurate Ranging System for Geodetic Observation – Mobile (ARGO-M) was successfully developed as the first Korean mobile Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) system in 2012, and has joined in the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) tracking network, DAEdeoK (DAEK) station. The DAEK SLR station...

| description | The Accurate Ranging System for Geodetic Observation – Mobile (ARGO-M) was successfully developed as the first Korean
mobile Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) system in 2012, and has joined in the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS)
tracking network, DAEdeoK (DAEK) station. The DAEK SLR station was approved as a validated station in April 2014,
through the ILRS station “data validation” process. The ARGO-M system is designed to enable 2 kHz laser ranging with
millimeter-level precision for geodetic, remote sensing, navigation, and experimental satellites equipped with Laser Retroreflector
Arrays (LRAs). In this paper, we present the design and development of a next generation high-repetition-rate SLR
system for ARGO-M. The laser ranging rate up to 10 kHz is becoming an important issue in the SLR community to improve
ranging precision. To implement high-repetition-rate SLR system, the High-repetition-rate SLR operation system (HSLR-10)
was designed and developed using ARGO-M Range Gate Generator (A-RGG), so as to enable laser ranging from 50 Hz to 10
kHz. HSLR-10 includes both hardware controlling software and data post-processing software. This paper shows the design
and development of key technologies of high-repetition-rate SLR system. The developed system was tested successfully
at DAEK station and then moved to Sejong station, a new Korean SLR station, on July 1, 2015. HSLR-10 will begin normal
operations at Sejong station in the near future. |
