The status of the timing electronics for the lunar laser ranging station in Hawaii is discussed. The aim of the experiment is to measure, with high accuracy, the distance from a fixed point on earth to a retroreflector array which was placed on the lunar surface. The operating procedure for conducting the experiment is described. The components of the system are analyzed to show the effectiveness and accuracy of the facility.
