Scientific paper

A total of 727 astrometric observations of Icarus were collected from the interval 1949-1987, to use them for orbit improvement when studying the motion of this asteroid. To verify the predictions of general relativity, the relativity factor lambda was included in the equations of motion; the simple form of relativistic equations of motion written in the Painleve's coordinates was used based on the solution of one-body Schwarzschild problem. Nongravitational effects which appeared to be insignificant in the Icarus' motion were also determined. The analysis of the motion of Icarus fully confirmed the predictions of general relativity.
