Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the Goddard Laser Tracking Network (GLTN). We discuss the GLTN station locations, equipment, possible improvements, and data flow. We also provide locations of the other major laser tracking networks and their present or expected performance. The material includes a listing of the Lunar Laser Ranging Stations and their actual or expected performance.
