The use of Hipparcos satellite gravitational light deflection and stellar aberration data to test fundamental concepts of relativity theory is discussed. A Euclidean space-absolute time physical theory of gravity is considered. Deviations from positions predicted by general relativity are ambiguous in the case of gravitational light deflection, since modification of the field equation may be involved. No such ambiguity arises with aberration, if it is a function of the absolute motion of the Earth. The cosmic microwave background is suggested as a standard of rest for measurements of effects related to the apparent one-way velocity of light.
