Abstract
The transfer funcion of the retroreflector array carried by the LAGEOS satellite (1976 39A) has been computed at three wavelengths: 5230, 6493, and 106000 A. The range correction is given for extrapolating laser range measurements to the center of gravity of the satellite. The reflectivity of the array has been computed for estimating laser-echosignal strengths
