SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) measures the time intervals required for pulses emitted by a laser transmitter to travel to a satellite and return to the transmitting site. The "range", or distance between the satellite and the observing site, is approximately equal to one half of the two-way travel time multiplied by the speed of light.
