Default Moon reflectors

Other question - when Apollo & Soviets got to the moon, they put reflectors
there.

Is there any data about experiments to do with those reflectors?

Cheers!

Alex Kudrasev.

While Soviet spacecraft may have, I never
heard of Soviets getting to the moon.

They are corner reflectors, and have been
used a lot, search google.

Look up "Lunar Laser Ranging" or LLR on the internet. They use very
powerful lasers, and only get a very few photons returned. It will not be
an experiment you do at home.
