Abstract Modern satellite ranging lasers emit short pulses at a low beam divergence and therefore require accurate satellite position predictions. To reach these accuracies the application of a Kalman filter orbit improvement technique has been investigated. Using laser observations acquired at only one groundstation the filter scheme provides real-time satellite position prediction updates, and also yields better predictions for subsequent passes over that station.
