Laser Ranging from LRO-LOLA to Retro-Reflector Arrays on the Lunar Surface

LOLA is conducting a campaign to range to retro-reflectors on the lunar surface deposited by Apollo and modern landers. Lessons learned from this new technique can be carried forward to future lidar systems and retro-reflector deployments.
