Artificial Satellites: Relativistic Effects

Scientific paper

Neutral- and charged-particle drag explains part of the semimajor axis decay of LAGEOS of approximately 1.1 mm/d, which corresponds to an acceleration of about 3×10-10cm/s2. The authors study the effect of particle drag on the node of LAGEOS in relation to the proposed measurement of the Lense-Thirring or gravitomagnetic effect, using two laser-ranged satellites, of LAGEOS type, with supplementary inclinations. The conclusion is that the nodal precession due to particle drag is negligible with respect to the Lense-Thirring gravitomagnetic drag.
