Abstract: 

We investigated the stability of the «Golosiiv-Kiev» satellite laser ranging (SLR) station on the basis of the results of reducing the Lageos-1 and Lageos-2 observations during 24.01.01—31.12.01. The coordinates of the SLR station were calculated on 15-day orbital arcs and analyzed. We obtained that the estimate of the stability of the SLR station coordinates σ = 0.168 m. The factors influencing on the «Golosiiv-Kiev» SLR stability were described.
