Description:
Current least squares fits to solar system data, including transit circle observations of the terrestrial and giant planets, radar observations of the terrestrial planets, Mariner 9 range fixes to Mars, and Pioneer 10/11 range fixes to Jupiter, have yielded some new results of interest to experimental relativity. Solutions have been obtained for the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) parameters beta and gamma, the solar gravitational quadrupole moment J2, a time variation in the gravitational constant G, and four Nordtvedt parameters.
