Scientific paper

Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) is carried out for more than 40 years. The data set is analysed in a weighted least-squares adjustment to determine several parameters of the Earth-Moon-system, e.g. the moon's tidal acceleration, lunar orbit and earth orientation parameters. Furthermore, LLR allows for testing relativity, e.g. the strong equivalence principle or the time variability of the gravitational constant. A further step on the way to mm-accurate LLR analysis is the refined modelling of the moon's interior which mainly affects the moon's rotation. The previous modelling of the moon as a homogeneous, elastic and dissipative body has been extended by the contribution of a possible fluid core. Based on the refined modelling and using LLR data from 1970 to 2009 the following studies are conducted: - test of relativistic properties, like strong equivalence principle, non-linearity or relativistic precession, - frequency dependent modelling of secular tidal acceleration, - determination of UT0 and comparison with IERS C04 series. Corresponding results are presented and discussed.
