Scientific paper

LATOR is a space-based experiment to accurately measure the gravitational deflectional deflection of light. The experiment uses two laser bearing spacecraft at the opposite side of the Sun and a very long baseline heterodyne interferometer to measure the angle at an accuracy of 0.2 uas. Combining this measurement with laser ranging from Earth to both spacecraft, gravitational deflection can be made with an accuracy 5000 times better than previously done and will allow measurements of the second order and frame dragging effects.
