Resumen

Within the ILRS (International Laser Ranging Service) global network, continental subnets that carry out various scientific projects coexist. In particular, in South America there are four SLR stations well located within the region. This paper shows the four SLR stations (included in the current international reference frameworks ITRF 2008 and ITRF 2014) and the next challenges for this satellite technique in Latin America, considering future network projects.
