Experimental tests of general relativity are reviewed, and the practical problems, theoretical limitations, and results obtained so far are briefly characterized. Particular attention is then given to the theoretical bases and implementation of three ongoing or planned long-distance ranging experiments: (1) measurements of De Sitter geodetic precession using lunar laser ranging, VLBI, and planetary observations; (2) measurements of the gravitomagnetic field using Lageos ranging; and (3) measurement of the general-relativistic perigee advance by Lageos ranging.

Abstract
Experimental tests of general relativity are reviewed, and the practical problems, theoretical limitations, and results obtained so far are briefly characterized. Particular attention is then given to the theoretical bases and implementation of three ongoing or planned long-distance ranging experiments: (1) measurements of De Sitter geodetic precession using lunar laser ranging, VLBI, and planetary observations; (2) measurements of the gravitomagnetic field using Lageos ranging; and (3) measurement of the general-relativistic perigee advance by Lageos ranging.File in questo prodotto:
