The possibility is considered of detecting the anomalous acceleration (geodesic deviation) of a gyroscope in free fall, which is predicted by general relativity. Although the effect is small, it appears that experimental apparatus of sufficient sensitivity for use in earth orbit could be designed. An additional check of the validity of general relativity thus may be feasible.
