Abstract

The Japanese Experimental Geodetic Satellite “AJISAI” with functions for laser ranging and photographing from the ground was launched. The tracking observation of AJISAI has been made after launch by laser ranging and photographing techniques under international cooperation. According to a simulation the range accuracy of one to two centimeters level is attainable by applying edge detection method. The expansion project of marine geodetic controls around Japan is to be made by the Hydrographic Department of Japan using satellite of Lageos, NNSS and this AJISAI satellite. The field work for precise geodetic purpose by using a transportable laser ranging station with 5 cm accuracy and other equipments will start in late 1987 for this expansion project.
