Claim

The article claims the experiment should deliver measurements 100x times more precise than current reflects. Such a claim is extraordinary and should require at least a few words of explanation. Has the reflector an area 10000x times as large? What are the means to achieve such a high precision? --140.105.75.83 (talk) 17:21, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Well, the claim on x100 better precision is referenced by the cited paper abstract. It is supposed to be a "new approach and technology". Unfortunately, the information/paper is behind a paywall. I'm tagging that entry with {{how}} for follow up. Rowan Forest (talk) 17:48, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

In this previous paper, they mention the accuracy improvement comes from technology and software that correct for the lunar libration and thermal fluctuations: . Rowan Forest (talk) 18:08, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Will be launched in early 2024?

Lunar laser ranging experiments says, "MoonLIGHT will be launched in early 2024." I guess that is not accurate? Wish someone would fix it. 2601:281:D87C:11C0:70BD:6C42:4AD9:58F7 (talk) 02:14, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
