By determining to a high degree of accuracy the orbits of particles or photons in the vicinity of the sun information could be obtained which would help distinguish between different theories of gravitation. It is proposed that radar ranging measurements of particle orbits be obtained from a satellite placed in an orbit that passes close to the sun. Thermal problems, nongravitational forces, and communication difficulties that would complicate a solar probe mission are discussed. Gravitational parameters and unresolved questions of gravitational theories are reviewed.
