Abstract
We calculate the post-Newtonian oscillations of the lunar orbit predic ted in various theories of gravity. It is shown that the principle of the metric nature of gravitational interaction can be verified up to t he post-Newtonian level of accuracy by analyzing the data on laser mon itoring of the Moon.
