Israel Linked To A Global Laser Tracking Station TEL AVIV (JTA) - Israel is a link in a global laser track ing station that gathers scien tific data about the earth. The station, part of a net work of 30 tracking stations around the world, is the first of its kind in the Middle East. The global network is run by NASA. Each station fires laser beams at an orbiting satellite. The beams bounce back to earth and from them it is possible, among other things, to gain data on the speed of the earth’s axial rota tion, changes in its gravita tional and electro-magnetic fields and the movement of the earth’s crust-plate tectonics. Repeated measurements of returning beams could in dicate tectonic activity and thereby help predict earthquakes.
