Scientific paper

For the optimal use of high precision Lunar Laser Ranging an investigation regarding a clear definition of the underlying coordinate systems, identification of estimable quantities, favorable station geometry and optimal observation schedule is given. The least squares adjustment formulation for range-differencing is presented. This procedure determines the coordinate differences of the stations particulary well by taking advantage of the earth-moon geometry. The body-fixed motions of the celestial pole (polar motion) and the earth rotation parameter are derived from an orthogonal transformation relative to a standard epoch.
