摘要：

位于新墨西哥州南部的阿帕奇角天文台使用3.5米望远镜的下一代月球激光测距仪已经开始科学运行。APOLLO（阿帕奇点天文台月球激光测距操作）已经实现了一毫米的月球测距精度，这将导致大约一个数量级的精度提高的几个测试的基本性质的重力。我们简要地激发了科学目标，然后给出了一个详细的讨论阿波罗仪器。

英文摘要：

A next-generation lunar laser ranging apparatus using the 3.5 m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory in southern New Mexico has begun science operation. APOLLO (the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation) has achieved one-millimeter range precision to the moon which should lead to approximately one-order-of-magnitude improvements in the precision of several tests of fundamental properties of gravity. We briefly motivate the scientific goals, and then give a detailed discussion of the APOLLO instrumentation.
