After a brief description of the experiment to detect the gravitomagnetic field using high altitude laser ranged artificial satellites, the author studies several non-gravitational perturbations that affect the LAGEOS nodal longitude. It is shown that the error in the calculated value of the secular nodal precession or the value of the secular nodal precession itself is, for each perturbation, less than 1% of the gravitomagnetic drag.

Abstract
After a brief description of the experiment to detect the gravitomagnetic field using high altitude laser ranged artificial satellites, the author studies several non-gravitational perturbations that affect the LAGEOS nodal longitude. It is shown that the error in the calculated value of the secular nodal precession or the value of the secular nodal precession itself is, for each perturbation, less than 1% of the gravitomagnetic drag.File in questo prodotto:
