We solve exactly the equations of 5D general relativity for the case of a spinning test object moving in a circular orbit in a Schwarzschild-like spacetime augmented by one extra dimension. All of the classical tests give their standard results, but the spin axis precesses at a different rate in 4D and 5D. This suggests that the dimensionality of the world could be tested using a gyroscope in Earth orbit.
