Lageos II (Laser Geodynamics Satellite) is a passive U. S. -Italian satellite dedicated exclusively to the study of sending laser "shots" from the ground to the satellite in order to measure the speed of the laser and to be able to calculate with great precision the distances between Lageos II and ground stations in order to accurately measure the Earth's axis of rotation, the size of the Earth and the duration of a day.    This "golf ball" shaped satellite measures 60 cm in diameter and weighs about 405 kg. It consisted of 426 reflectors with a diameter of 3.8 cm (422 suprasil and 4 germanium).
