Description

Predicted satellite orbits for Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) tracking of satellites equipped with corner cube retroreflectors. SLR stations download these prediction files and coordinate tracking schedules for satellite acquisition. The predicted orbit files typically contain orbit information for multiple days and are issued on a daily or sub-daily basis.
