A clear case for dust obscuration of the lunar retroreflectors
Sanchit Sabhlok, James B. R. Battat, Nicholas R. Colmenares +2
The passive retroreflector arrays placed on the moon by Apollo 11, 14 and 15 astronauts continue to produce valuable Earth-Moon range measurements that enable high-precision tests…
Fifteen years of millimeter accuracy lunar laser ranging with APOLLO: data reduction and calibration
Nicholas R. Colmenares, James B. R. Battat, Daniel P. Gonzales +2
The Apache Point Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) has been collecting lunar range measurements for 15 years at millimeter accuracy. The median nightly range uncertainty since…
Fifteen years of millimeter accuracy lunar laser ranging with APOLLO: dataset characterization
James B. R. Battat, Eric Adelberger, Nicholas R. Colmenares +7
We present data from the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) covering the 15-year span from April 2006 through the end of 2020. APOLLO measures the eart…
Timing calibration of the APOLLO experiment
J. B. R. Battat, L. R. Huang, E. Schlerman +3
The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) began millimeter-precision ranging to the Moon in 2006. Until now, a comprehensive validation of APOLLO system r…
An absolute calibration system for millimeter-accuracy APOLLO measurements
E. G. Adelberger, J. B. R. Battat, K. J. Birkmeier +10
Lunar laser ranging provides a number of leading experimental tests of gravitation -- important in our quest to unify General Relativity and the Standard Model of physics. The Apac…
APOLLO clock performance and normal point corrections
Y. Liang, T. W. Murphy, N. R. Colmenares +1
The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) has produced a large volume of high-quality lunar laser ranging (LLR) data since it began operating in 2006. For…
Modeling and Analysis of the APOLLO Lunar Laser Ranging Data
R. D. Reasenberg, J. F. Chandler, N. R. Colmenares +3
The Earth-Moon-Sun system has traditionally provided the best laboratory for testing the strong equivalence principle. For a decade, the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-rangin…
