AST- 9619302 Lunar Laser Ranging at McDonald Observatory. Lunar laser ranging data play a vital role within various astronomical sciences. They form a firm foundation upon which many fundamental astronomical disciplines stand. They contribute in areas such as the solid Earth sciences, geodesy and geodynamics, Solar System ephemerides, terrestrial and celestial reference frames, lunar physics, general relativity, and gravitational theory. With this award Dr. Peter Shelus will enhance the collection of lunar laser ranging data at McDonald Observatory to produce near-real-time Earth orientation parameters and will develop and implement a Baysian statistics based data identification and quality control package to improve the quality and efficiency of the product.

麦克唐纳天文台的AST- 9619302月球激光测距。月球激光测距数据在各种天文科学中起着至关重要的作用。它们构成了许多基础天文学学科的坚实基础。他们在固体地球科学、大地测量学和地球动力学、太阳系星历表、地球和天体参考系、月球物理、广义相对论和引力理论等领域做出贡献。凭借这份合同，Peter Shelus博士将加强麦克唐纳天文台的月球激光测距数据收集，以产生近实时的地球方向参数，并将开发和实施基于贝叶斯统计的数据识别和质量控制包，以提高产品的质量和效率。
