Next-Generation Geodesy at the Lunar South Pole: An Opportunity Enabled by the Artemis III Crew
Vishnu Viswanathan, Erwan Mazarico, Stephen Merkowitz +3
Lunar retro-reflector arrays (LRAs) consisting of corner-cube reflectors (CCRs) placed on the nearside of the Moon during the Apollo era have demonstrated their longevity, cost-eff…
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…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
Opportunities for Probing Fundamental Gravity with Solar System Experiments
Slava G. Turyshev, Thomas W. Murphy, Eric G. Adelberger +13
The recent discovery of "dark energy" has challenged Einstein's general theory of relativity as a complete model for our macroscopic universe. From a theoretical view, the challeng…
Laser Ranging for Gravitational, Lunar, and Planetary Science
Stephen M. Merkowitz, Philip W. Dabney, Jeffrey C. Livas +3
More precise lunar and Martian ranging will enable unprecedented tests of Einstein's theory of General Relativity and well as lunar and planetary science. NASA is currently plannin…
Measurement of Newton's Constant Using a Torsion Balance with Angular Acceleration Feedback
Jens H. Gundlach, Stephen M. Merkowitz
We measured Newton's gravitational constant G using a new torsion balance method. Our technique greatly reduces several sources of uncertainty compared to previous measurements: (1…
