Doug Currie: [b]A Lunar Laser Ranging Retroreflector for the 21st Century[/b]
http://lunarscience.nasa.gov/events/doug-currie-lunar-laser-ranging-retroreflector-21st-century

There is a very good presentation here: http://connect.arc.nasa.gov/p25895343/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=normal
It uses Adobe Products, you have to have your Adobe stuff all up to date.

"Over the past forty years, Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) to the Apollo Cube Corner Retroreflector (CCR) arrays has supplied most of the significant tests of General Relativity as well as providing significant information on the interior of the moon. Professor Currie will review the reasons for performing the Lunar laser ranging and discuss the methods used to obtain the data upon which the science has been established.

More precisely, the LLR program has evaluated the PPN parameters and addressed, for example, the possible change in the gravitational constant and the properties of the self-energy of the gravitational field. In addition, LLR has provided significant information on the composition and origin of the moon. These arrays are the only experiment of the Apollo program that are still in operation. Initially the Apollo Lunar Arrays contributed a negligible portion of the error budget used to achieve these results. Over the decades, the performance of ground stations has greatly upgraded so that the ranging accuracy has improved by more than two orders of magnitude. Now, after forty years, because of the lunar librations the existing Apollo retroreflector arrays contribute significant fraction of the limiting errors in the range measurements.

The University of Maryland, as the Principal Investigator for the original Apollo arrays, is now proposing a new approach to the Lunar Laser CCR array technology. The investigation of this new technology, with Professor Currie as Principal Investigator, is currently being supported by two NASA programs and, in part, also by INFN/LNF in Frascati, Italy and ASI. Thus after the proposed installation on the next Lunar landing, either robotic or manned, the new arrays will support ranging observations that are a factor 100 more accurate than the current Apollo LLRRAs, from the centimeter level to the tens of microns level. The new fundamental physics and the lunar physics that this new LLRRA can provide will be described. Finally, In the design of the new retroreflectors, there are three major challenges. These will be described and the methods to mitigate these problems will be explained.."
