[IGSMAIL-6858] Nineteenth International Workshop on Laser Ranging -- Advance Announcement

[Carey Noll]

Author: Carey Noll/NASA GSFC

We are pleased to announce that the 19th International Workshop on Laser Ranging will be hosted at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, October 27-31 2014. Goddard has the unique opportunity to host this event at the birthplace of SLR: October 31, 2014 will mark the 50th anniversary of the first SLR measurement, conducted at what is now the Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory, GGAO. The theme for this workshop, "Celebrating 50 Years of SLR: Remembering the Past and Planning for the Future" will allow us to look back on our many accomplishments and present plans for future advances in the SLR technique.  Furthermore, we solicit contributions from complementary space geodesy techniques and from activities that rely on the integration of SLR with other space geodesy techniques.

Please consider participation in this workshop and reserve the week to join us at NASA GSFC. More details will be provided shortly.

Regards,
Carey.
