TL;DR
This paper defends the validity of LAGEOS satellite laser ranging results in detecting Earth's frame-dragging effect, responding to criticisms and clarifying the experimental findings.
Contribution
It provides a rebuttal to critiques of satellite-based measurements of frame-dragging, reaffirming the reliability of the LAGEOS experiment results.
Findings
LAGEOS satellite data supports frame-dragging detection
Critiques of the measurement methods are addressed and countered
Results remain consistent with General Relativity predictions
Abstract
In this note, we reply to the preceding paper by Iorio: "Some considerations on the present-day results for the detection of frame-dragging after the final outcome of GP-B, Europhysics Letters", we address criticisms regarding the Lense-Thirring frame-dragging experiment results obtained from the laser ranging to the two LAGEOS satellites.
