Scientific paper

The orbital effects of the Lorentz force on the motion of an electrically charged artificial satellite moving in the earth's magnetic field are determined. The geomagnetic field is considered as a multipole potential field, and the satellite electrical charge is supposed to be constant. The relativistic perturbations of the main geomagnetic field are discussed briefly. The results concentrate on the determination of the secular changes, and numerical values are computed for the case of the Lageos satellite. The results are discussed in the context of a possible detection of the Lense-Thirring effect, analyzing the orbital perturbations of the Lageos and Lageos X satellites.
