Abstract
Satellite laser ranging (SLR) system which measures the round trip time of laser to satellites is one of the important techniques in space geodesy. SLR system gives a powerful tool to determine the precise orbit of satellites, the center of mass of the Earth, and etc because it provides instantaneous range measurements of millimeter level precision. China Transportable Ranging Observation System (TROS) was built in 1999 and other four SLR stations were founded in China. TROS has been upgraded to the new electronic system capable of KHz ranging since last year, and succeeded in KHz SLR technology. TROS has been operated in KASI headquarter for research of space geodesy since August 2008, which will be operated for 12 months by August 2009. Now ISCEA and KASI keep strong relationship in SLR field.
