[Total Budget for FY1990-1994]

99,299,000 Yen (FY1994 21,618,000 Yen)

[Abstract]

Objectives of the project is to develop a new method of tracking satellite shined by the laser radiation, called as active satellite tracking. Results obtained are as follows;
1. Light reflected from the corner cube prisms of a Japanese geodetic satellite "Ajisai" was obtained by a gated CCD camera, which were installed on the optical tracking system with the CRL 1.5m diameter telescope.
2. The optical tracking system was improved to make more accurate satellite tracking by making modification of the software of the telescope model.
　According to the results of the research, ADEOS with RIS can be tracked by the active satellite tracking techniques developed by this research.
