Summary
Wettzell Laser Ranging System (WLRS), the satellite and lunar laser ranging system of the geodetic observatory in Wettzell, Bavaria. The 75cm telescope in the dome is both used to send the laser pulses and to observe the reflected signal. The small radar dish besides the dome is used to monitor air traffic: The laser is automatically switched off when a aircraft approaches the target position of the laser.
