Robert D. Reasenberg,Irwin I. Shapiro,P. E. MacNeil,R. B. Goldstein,J. C. Breidenthal,J. P. Brenkle,D. L. Cain,T. M. Kaufman,T. Komarek,A. I. Zygielbaum +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 14 months of data obtained from radio ranging to the Viking spacecraft was verified to an estimated accuracy of 0.1%, the prediction of the general theory of relativity that the roundtrip times of light signals traveling between the earth and Mars are increased by the direct effect of solar gravity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Analysis of the Doppler tracking data near encounter yields a value for the ratio of the mass of the sun to that of Venus of 408,523.9 � 1.2, which is in good agreement with prior determinations based on data from Mariner 2 and Mariner 5.
Journal ArticleDOI
The moment of inertia and isostasy of Mars
TL;DR: In this paper, the displacement from Mars and the shape of the spheroid are calculated by using this description and a Mars gravity model, and it is shown that the Hellas depression coincides with a depression in the EPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of the de Sitter precession of the Moon: A relativistic three-body effect.
TL;DR: Lunar laser-ranging data, accumulated between 1970 and 1986, are analyzed to estimate the deviation of the precession of the moon's orbit from the predictions of general relativity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Viking Relativity Experiment

TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of the roundtrip time of flight of radio signals transmitted from the earth to the Viking spacecraft are analyzed to test the predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity.
