Scientific paper

The contribution of the 'gravitomagnetic' interaction to a well-measured perturbation term in the orbits of earth satellites is calculated. Laser-ranging determination of the moon's orbit and Lageos-satellite orbit requires the precise participation of the gravitomagnetic interaction; otherwise anomalous orbital perturbations exist. For the Lageos-satellite orbit, the gravitomagnetic interaction's contribution to the orbit is a 100-m altitude variation of frequency omega-Omega (omega and Omega are satellite and earth orbital angular frequencies, respectively), but which is nullified by effects from other well established post-Newtonian gravitational potentials.
