In this paper we show results derived from satellite observations at theSan Juan SLR station of Felix Aguilar Astronomical Observatory (OAFA).The Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) telescope was installed in early 2006,in accordance with an international cooperation agreement between theSan Juan National University (UNSJ) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The SLR has been in successful operation since 2011 using NAOCSLR software for the data processing. This program was designed tocalculate satellite orbits and station coordinates, however it was usedin this work for the determination of LOD (Length Of Day) time seriesand Earth Rotation speed.
