DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Roelf C Botha (HartRAO)\nHartRAO has been planning a
 nd developing a Lunar Laser Ranger (LLR) for the past 10 years. This syste
 m will also be used for Satellite Laser Ranging during available operation
 al time. We already have a 1 m optical telescope as well as a functional c
 ontrol room. We are now at the stage of procuring the remaining hardware c
 omponents and implementing these according to the overall system design.\n
 \nThe laser system for this LLR has been designed in collaboration with an
 d procured via the NASA laser ranging network contractor\, Cybioms Corpora
 tion. The system consists of 2 lasers: one providing high-power green puls
 es at 20 Hz for lunar capability and another delivering low power green pu
 lses at 1 kHz for satellite capability. These lasers have recently arrived
  in South Africa.\n\nAn overview of the laser system configuration and des
 ign as well as  anticipated performance will be presented.\n\nhttps://even
