Benefit of New High-Precision LLR Data for the Determination of Relativistic Parameters
Liliane Biskupek, Jürgen Müller, Jean-Marie Torre
Since 1969, Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data have been collected by various observatories and analysed by different analysis groups. In the recent years, observations with bigger tel…
Extending Science from Lunar Laser Ranging
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +18
The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment has accumulated 50 years of range data of improving accuracy from ground stations to the laser retroreflector arrays (LRAs) on the lunar su…
Probing the gravitational redshift with an Earth-orbiting satellite
D. A. Litvinov, V. N. Rudenko, A. V. Alakoz +45
We present an approach to testing the gravitational redshift effect using the RadioAstron satellite. The experiment is based on a modification of the Gravity Probe A scheme of nonr…
Lunar laser ranging in infrfared at hte Grasse laser station
C. Courde, J. M. Torre, E. Samain +9
For many years, lunar laser ranging (LLR) observations using a green wavelength have suffered an inhomogeneity problem both temporally and spatially. This paper reports on the impl…
