| Abstract |
The keynote report at GR10 on new results from space experiments was the invited paper Testing relativity with solar system dynamics , which was presented by R.W. Hellings earlier in the Conference. In that paper, the major improvements in solar system tests of general relativity made possible by adding the Viking Lander and Viking Orbiter tracking data to other existing information were discussed (see also Hellings et al., 1983, and Reasenberg, 1984). It is striking that the accuracy of some of the very interesting results is limited more by uncertainties in modeling the effects of many different asteroids on the orbit of Mars (Williams, 1984) than by any other factor. Further studies of the effects of the asteroids appear to be very important. |

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
