The Einsteinian theory of gravitation, General Relativity (GR), is well verified at scales ranging up to the size of planetary orbits but it is challenged by larger-scale observations. In the Solar System, several anomalies have also been detected in the tra jectories of some spacecraft: a small anomalous Doppler acceleration has been detected...

The Laser Astrometric Test Of Relativity (LATOR) is a joint European-U.S. Michelson-Morley-type experiment designed to test the pure tensor metric nature of gravitation - a fundamental postulate of Einstein's theory of general relativity. By using a combination of independent time-series of highly accurate gravitational deflection of light in...
