We discuss the advances in our understanding of fundamental physics anticipated in the near future and evaluate discovery potential of the recently proposed gravitational experiments.18 pages, 9 figures, invited talk given at the "Atomic Clocks and Fundamental Constants - ACFC 2007, Bad Honnef 2007; to appear in EPJ Special TopicsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyTests of Relativistic Gravity in Space: Recent Progress and Future Directionstext
