Results are presented of a preliminary study to determine the Kootwijk-Wettzell baseline and the Wettzell coordinates from satellite laser ranging. Five different estimates were obtained, based on three single arc, one two arc and one four arc solutions. The arcs were formed from 32 passes of four satellites over only the Kootwijk and Wettzell ranging stations during the period July 11 to August 24, 1978. Special attention was paid to the effects of the orbit station geometry, the number of passes, and the distribution of the passes over a time span.
