Analysis Center Citation

The individual SLR solutions that contributed to the ITRF2020 combination product were computed by the following official International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) Analysis Centers (listed in alphabetical order of their acronym identifier) using the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data obtained from the LAGEOS, LAGEOS-2, Etalon-1, and Etalon-2 satellites. The combined solution was generated by ITRS CC/Paris including the corresponding products from the other techniques, IVS, IGS and IDS, resulting in the ITRF2020 combination product which was the basis for the development of SLRF2020. SLRF2020 was generated by the official ILRS Combination Center hosted by JCET/GSFC at Univ. of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
