Abstract
Using kHz Satellite LASER Ranging (SLR) data of the SLR station Graz only, we determined the spin periods of the two ETALON satellites – launched into high orbits of about 20,000 km – and their spin period increase during 3 years. The determined spin period values and spin period increase rates at 2004-01-01 are: TET1 = 63 s + 0.484 s/year, and TET2 = 65.5 s + 0.401 s/year.
