  • Abstract
    Recent experiments have successfully tested Einsteinʹs general theory of relativity to remarkable precision. We discuss recent progress in the tests of relativistic gravity in the solar system and present motivations for the new generation of high-accuracy gravitational experiments. We especially focus on the concepts aiming to probe parameterized-post-Newtonian parameter 7 and evaluate the discovery potential of the recently proposed experiments.
