The 23rd International Laser Ranging Symposium, sponsored by the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) and organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Yunnan Observatory, will be held in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China, from October 20 to 26, 2024.
The International Laser Ranging Service Organization is one of the measurement service organizations of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). ILRS is committed to organizing and coordinating global satellite laser ranging andLunar laser rangingThe event aims to support geodetic, geophysical, lunar, and planetary science programs, and provide data products that are crucial for maintaining and improving the International Earth Reference Framework.
The International Symposium on Laser Ranging is an important academic conference in the field of laser ranging, aimed at promoting the development of the laser ranging discipline and international exchanges. The seminar is held every two years and has successfully held 22 sessions worldwide so far. In 2024, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of successful satellite laser ranging, experts, scholars, and technicians in the global laser ranging field gather in China to explore the key technologies, important breakthroughs, innovative concepts, opportunities, and challenges in the field of laser ranging.
