Information about the structure of lunar interior and evolution could be obtained from measurements of lunar free librations, gravitational field, dissipation etc. In this paper the precision of determining free librations from Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) data are estimated. Using the observing data from four telescopes for eighteen years, the amplitudes and phases of free librations, and ratios of the moments of inertia of the Moon were determined.
