OPTIMIZATION OF A GYROSCOPIC SATELLITE GENERAL-RELATIVITY EXPERIMENT,

Abstract

A method of data reduction that utilizes spin axis precession rates that are periodic with the orbit nodal regression frequency has been shown to be capable of accurately measuring the relativity effect on a gyroscope satellite in an inclined orbit. (Author)
