Laser Beams Readied to Probe Moon After Apollo 11
A high powered laser rangefinder atop Catalina Mountains will fire microlaser pulses toward the moon shortly after Apollo 11 landing. Pulses ten to the minus tenth of a second long will create a two to three mile wide beam to strike a reflector left by astronauts and return data to compute Earth Moon distance and lunar orbit. The system, built by Hughes Aircraft for the Air Force and University of Arizona, aims to measure continental drift and moon shape with unprecedented precision.
