Hi Thanks for the info I visited the LAGEOS station on Huahine, French Polynesia while chasing Halley's comet in 1986 and they were using a red laser, not sure what they use now. The laser in the room below the scopes http://www.drdale.com/temp/lageoslaser.jpg The scopes http://www.drdale.com/temp/lageosscope.jpg The scope on the left is firing the laser at LAGEOS-1 as I remember Has anyone seen the LAGEOS 1? It is 5000km out and only 2ft across with corner reflectors. Made of depleted Uranium it weighs half a ton and will not decay for 8.4 million years.
