How NASA’s Reflectors Are Redrawing Our World

GPS satellites support Earth measurements by relaying information to other satellites. Laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) are improving this process, enhancing the accuracy of geodesy – the study of Earth’s shape and changes. LRAs enable precise distance measurements, essential for monitoring global phenomena like sea level rise and tectonic shifts. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com
