Results of a joint ASI-NASA Study on the LAGEOS gravitomagnetic experiment and the nodal perturbations due to radiation pressure and particle drag effects

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We report some of the Italian results of a joint ASI-NASA study concerning the physics of the LAGEOS III experiment to measure the gravitomagnetic field. In particular we describe some of the results regarding the nodal perturbations due to indirect-radiation pressure and to particle drag effects.
