Could
signal processing
techniques provide 1 mm observations for current
satellites?
How
do we design new satellites for 1 mm ranging
accuracy? What prelaunch
measurements are essential? Do you really need
prelaunch measurements?
Long
pulses (100 ps), short pules (10 ps)
- what
is the
trade off and
how do we optimize the choice?
Does
a satellite's centre of mass correction vary
between
stations?
What
would analysts want in terms of making a
centre of mass correction?
Have stations preformed
any
experiments observing at high and low energies
and found any changes in
range measurements?
What variations in return energy
do
stations experience during
operation?
How do systems monitor and
control their
return energy?
What is the experience of single
photon
systems?
Link project energy calculations

How
will stations operate under restricted tracking?
What are the
criteria that a station must meet to be allowed to
observe certain
satellites? What is the experience of
stations currently
operating under restricted tracking? What
information needs
to be
shared between stations and the mission
controllers?
