LAGEOS-1, -2: Mission Support
Jump to: Mission Support Status, Current Tracking Statistics, Mission Support Request
ILRS Mission Support Status:
LAGEOS-1 and -2 are routinely tracked by the ILRS network.
Both of these satellites are very dense (high mass-to-area ratio). LAGEOS-1 and -2 provide a permanent reference point in a very stable orbit for such precision earth-dynamics measurements as crustal motions, regional strains, fault motions, polar motion and earth-rotation variations, solid earth tides, and other kinematic and dynamic parameters associated with earthquake assessment and alleviation.
LAGEOS Mission Support Request:
Not available.
