The importance of the gravitomagnetic field is discussed. A never-measured field of nature, the foundations of inertia in Einstein General Relativity, and a key role in theories of quasars and active galactic nuclei are important aspects of this field and are discussed. In high energy astrophysics, some theories of energy storage, power generation, jet formation and jet alignment of quasars and active galactic nuclei are based on the existence of the gravitomagnetic field of a supermassive black hole (Thorne et al. 1986). LAGEOS 3 is discussed in terms of laser ranged satellites to detect the gravitomagnetic field and supplementary inclination satellites to avoid gravity field uncertainties. Many experiments have been proposed to measure the gravitomagnetic field. The GPB experiment intends to measure the Lense-Thirring-Schiff precession of gyroscopes orbiting the earth. Polar satellites have been proposed to measure the Lense-Thirring precession of the orbital plane (an enormous gyroscope and two guided, drag-free, counter-rotating, polar satellites have been suggested to avoid orbital inclination errors.) The new idea to measure the gravitomagnetic drag of the nodes of two nonpolar, supplementary inclination, satellites is summarized.
