✦ Synopsis

Information about the structure of lunar interior and evolution could be obtained from measurements of lunar free librations, gravitational field, dissipation etc.. In this paper the precision of determining free librations with Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data are estimated. Using the observing data from four telescopes for eighteen years the amplitudes and phases of free librations, the moments of inertia ratio of the Moon were determined.

Lunar Laser Ranging data covering the interval from August 1969 to December 1987 were used to determine the seculer acceleration in the mean longitude of the Moon (12). In our analysis, the DE200/LE200 planets and lunar ephemerides were adopted for calculating the theoretical distance between the ob
