Abstract | ||
In the presented paper, a model describing the range equation, the energy received, the number of returned photons, and photoelectrons as well as the Time-Of-Flight, has been analytically studied. The data concerning the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observed from the Changchun Observatory are considered to evaluate some of the parameters such as the energy received to ground telescope , the number of returned photons and photoelectrons . The SLR-data are taking into our consideration with the summarised results for the observations taken from the first quarter of 2018. The model is applied on a variety of satellites with different heights and configurations. The results have shown and confirmed the dependency of these parameters on the properties of the laser and detector systems and the used setup. | ||
