When we first met in 1973, we were struggling to just hit the satellites and achieve meter ranging. Now, we are focusing in mm results.

David BallChief Executive Officer,SERC

Chair of the IWLR2018

It is my great pleasure to welcome delegates, exhibitors and sponsors to the 21st International Workshop on laser Ranging (IWLR2018) and to Canberra, Australia.

SERC is pleased to be a joint host of this prestigious event with the International Laser Ranging Service.

I would like to begin by thanking the International Program Committee and Local Organising Committee for their hard work and dedication in developing an exceptional program and for setting the scene for an outstanding workshop and social program.

I would also like extend my sincere thanks to our Session Chairs, Clinic Facilitators and the Clinic Co-ordinator for their diligence in meeting review deadlines and for their contributions towards ensuring the success of IWLR 2018.

Finally, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to our sponsors and exhibitors – whose support has been instrumental in delivering what I anticipate to be a very enjoyable and productive workshop.

Throughout the program we have set aside time for delegate networking and socialising, poster review as well as small group discussion time to drill down on issues of significance for the network. I trust that you will engage in and enjoy these formal and informal aspects of the program and have a successful workshop.

My staff and I, as well as the Conference Logistics team, are here to enhance your experience at IWLR2018 – please seek us out at the registration desk or during the social activities so that we can extend a warm welcome to Canberra and IWLR2018.

WELCOME TO IWLR2018!

IWLR2018 PAGE 4

It is a pleasure to welcome the participants of the 21st International Workshop in Canberra, Australia.

We express our appreciation to SERC for its hospitality and to the Organizing Committee, the session chairs, and the clinic coordinators for their hard work in making this event possible.

The real work in making this event a great success will be done by the attendees, so we expect everyone to participate; don’t just sit and watch.

The Workshop has a long tradition of providing an opportunity for engineers, practitioners, analysts, and missions representatives to meet every couple of years to present and discuss the latest laser ranging technology, procedures, and analysis results that continue to make laser ranging one of the primary space geodesy techniques that permit us to better understand the dynamics of the Earth – Moon System.

Laser ranging is one of the fundamental tools that we use to define and improve the reference frame, the basis for our metric measurements of global

change, over space, time, and evolving technology.

When we met at the first workshop in Lagonissi, Greece in 1973, we were struggling just to hit the satellites and achieve meter ranging. Now we are focusing in mm results.

Those of us who have watched this evolution, are still fascinated by the improved capability and the ever-widening scope of applications of laser ranging.

We hope that while you are here in the land “Down Under”, you get a chance to see some of the unique and exciting things in Australia.

Most of all - Enjoy.

Since 2015, Ms Lundy has been instrumental in advocating and developing the Canberra region space industry and actively promoted the need for a nationally coordinated space industry.

Ms Lundy was a Federal Senator for the ACT for 19 years, holding a number of portfolios relating to technology, innovation, sport and multicultural affairs before retiring in 2015. Since 2015, Ms Lundy has been appointed to the boards of the National Roads and Motoring Association (NRMA), The Australian Grand Prix Corporation, the Australian Cyber Security Research Institute, the National Youth Science Forum and Electro Optic Systems.

Thomas Herring is a Professor of Geophysics in the Department of Earth Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge. His research interests are in the development and applications of precise geodetic techniques, primarily the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), to study deformation processes on all spatial and temporal scales. He also uses these methods to study properties of the propagation medium including the Earth’s atmosphere. He has been awarded the Macelwane Medal by the American Geophysical Union, the Bomford Prize by the International Association of Geodesy, and the Vening-Meinesz Medal by the European Geophysical Union. He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the International Association of Geodesy and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
