The results from ground-based experimental testing are presented. Prospects for improving these experiments are discussed. Radar echo time delays, perihelion advance and solar oblateness, time variation of the gravitational constant, and radio wave deflection are considered. Ground-based and spacecraft techniques are compared on an accuracy vs. cost basis.
