A NASA laser reflecting technology that will aid Global Positioning System (GPS) accuracy is now operational as of March 9.
The instrument, known as a laser retroreflector array, or LRA, launched aboard GPS III SV-09, the ninth of U. S. Space Force's Block III Global Positioning System satellites, on Jan.
"LRAs are the most efficient and cost-effective way to improve products that come out of GPS," said Lucia Tsaoussi, program manager for NASA's Space Geodesy at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
