Future deep space laser ranging missions together with astrometry missions will be able to test relativistic gravity to an unprecedented level of accuracy and will require second post-Newtonian approximation of relevant theories of gravity. Einstein-aether theory is adopted as the theory of gravity and the second post-Newtonian approximation of light propagation is studied.
