Laser safety has been a critical part of the NASA’s satellite laser ranging stations for many decades. As the new Space Geodesy Satellite Laser Ranging (SGSLR) systems complete development and begin integration/testing, they have had to adapt to evolving technologies and regulation changes. NASA’s SGSLR system will be deployed in many parts of the world, each with their own local safety framework and specific concerns. We describe the status, methods, and technologies of laser safety that are being implemented for our current scheduled deployment of SGSLR stations. We pay special attention to our partnership with the Norwegian Mapping Authority, and our collaboration in deployment of SGSLR in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard.
