- Abstract
Lunar laser ranging (LLR) has routinely provided observations for more than 36 years. The main benefit of this geodetic technique is the determination of many parameters of the Earth-Moon dynamics (e.g. orbit and rotation of the Moon or lunar physics) and the test of metric theories of gravity. LLR data analysis determines gravitational physics quantities such as the equivalence principle, any time variation of the gravitational constant, and several metric parameters. We give an overview of the recent status of our LLR analysis procedure and present new results for some relativistic quantities.
