Scientific paper

A new verification of the principle of equivalence through the motion of
asteroids in 2-1 resonance with Jupiter is proposed. It is shown that
radar ranging in these asteroids can be used to test for the Nordtvedt
effect with an accuracy better than the one obtained with lunar laser
ranging. The possibility of using optical observations is also analyzed.
