Lorenzo Iorio, David M. Lucchesi
TL;DR
This paper evaluates the use of LAGEOS-type satellites in a specific orbit configuration to improve measurements of the Lense-Thirring effect, a relativistic phenomenon predicted by General Relativity.
Contribution
It provides a quantitative analysis of the critical supplementary orbit configuration for LAGEOS-type satellites to enhance tests of General Relativity, especially the Lense-Thirring effect.
Findings
CSOC enables precise Lense-Thirring measurements
Improved observables for testing General Relativity
Quantitative assessment of satellite orbit configurations
Abstract
In this paper we analyze quantitatively the concept of LAGEOS--type satellites in critical supplementary orbit configuration (CSOC) which has proven capable of yielding various observables for many tests of General Relativity in the terrestrial gravitational field, with particular emphasis on the measurement of the Lense--Thirring effect.
