We analyze the impact of the installation of a lunar laser ranging device on the NTT 3.6m ESO telescope. With such an instrument, the scientific communities of fundamental physics and solar system formation will highly benefit of the only LLR station in the Southern Hemisphere. The quality of the NTT 3.6 meter telescope will also greatly complement the LLR 3.5 meter Apache Point telescope (3.5 m) instrument in the Northern Hemisphere (USA) which is the best instrument for tracking the Moon since 2006. Finally, we also consider the technical characteristics of such installation including the observational constraints.
